Travel

Before entering the real world, numerous college graduates travel overseas. Traveling provides graduates the opportunity to find out who they really are, what they want from life and the opportunity to meet and see amazing things and people. Budget discounts and youth traveling information abound to those going overseas. Youth under the age of 26 are eligible for cheaper international airfare and other special discounts.

Most recent graduates travel on a tight budget. These youth are called backpackers because of the huge backpack that they live out of for a period of time. Throughout the world, backpackers can cheaply stay in youth hostels. These hostels vary in quality and price, however the price rarely ever exceeds $20 a day. The means of travel depend on the infrastructure of the country. The most common method of travel in Europe is the train. Backpackers obtain a Eurarail pass which enables them to travel to any European country. In other developing countries, the most common means of transportation is the bus. All lodging and transportation vehicles provide excellent opportunites to meet fellow backpackers who may eventually become travel companions.

Europe is the most common destination for recent graduates. There are amazing sites, cities and beaches throughout Europe. Whether you want to travel to large towns or quaint villages, you will experience that country's culture. Amazing beaches and nightlife abound in Greece and historic pieces of artwork exist in France. Between these countries is a little bit of everything.

Latin America is slowly becoming a popular travel destination for backpackers who really crave adventure. Costa Rica and Belize are the two most common countries traveled because of their industrialized society that most ressembles Westernized culture. In Latin America, youth travel the rainforest.





Asia is a place where many graduates go seeking spiritual guidance. There are various religons and philosophies that many graduates strive to acquire. Also, the Himalya mountains attract youth who are into extreme sports such as mountain climbing.

Travel in the Middle East isn't common nor recommended because of the dangers and hatred that Americans face from these countries. Basically, the economical and political differences between the Middle East and the United States cause travel to be very dangerous in these regions.
