Cool vacation for a college student
I am a college student looking into taking a trip next summer. The problem is that i have no idea what or where to go. Any suggestions?

Doesn't your school have a student union or student travel agency?
Start there first. |
If you don;t know how are we supposed to?
Since you've posted on the europe board presumably that's what you're thinking of. You need to start with some research. Have a look at some Let's Go Guides - or the Thorn Tree section of the Lonely Planet website. They have lots of info for impecunious students. |
What are you interested in? Castles, palaces, Roman ruins, Celtic ruins, pubs and nightclubs, art musuems, beaches...?
Also, what is your budget? The current exchange rate isn't all that favorable. |
"<i>Any suggestions? </i>"
Lots - but you may not like them >) And if you are serious -- you'll come back and give us something (<i>anything</i>) to work w/. |
If you have no particular interests what does it matter where you go. Buy a ticket and just go.

Go to www.contiki.com. Review the various trips. Pick one long one or, better yet, two or more to string together with a short gap in between for independent travel or travel with your new temporary friends.
I'd avoid the budget trips, but I first went on a Contiki trip when I was 26 and a professional with a little bit of money, not a collegian. Enjoy. At worst, if you're not liking the notion of taking a tour, then the Contiki site will give you some concepts of what you want to see and you can come back and pelt the board with specific questions. |
