Thanks to Nationals and Contiki, HCA has caught the travel bug. With the crazy temperatures around Tuscaloosa, the meaty part of the semester in full swing, I am ready to get away. Who wouldn’t be after browsing Contiki‘s offerings? They are THE source for people that love to travel but hate the stress of planning the perfect getaway. Founded in 1962, they are perfect for collegiette’s looking for an adventure abroad that is safe, a good value, and the perfect way to meet new people from across the country. We’ve all heard the stories about the vacay that changed someone’s life. Now’s your chance to have the vacay that changes your life. Contiki offers trips to 46 different countries in 8 regions throughout the world. Still not sure? Browsing the website, I found myself drooling over the lush rainforests of South America. (Hey Momma! Graduation is just around the corner!) 13 days in Australia? Yes, please. I always knew I was meant to be a surfer queen, and what Aussie wouldn’t love to meet a Bama belle?
Whether you know exactly where you want to go, like me, or are completely lost, Contiki will be there for all kinds of support: what airline to take, where to eat, which how hotels are safest. Contiki trips are planned to fit your dream, offering planned transportation and accommodations for the whole trip. Contiki understands sometimes a collegiette wants to explore, so they offer a fabulous combination of guided and planned activities, optional activities and completely free days.
Now you want to know about the fine print, right? With Contiki there is no fine print, no catch, no hidden fees or other popular travel woes. Contiki’s motto is the more the merrier, offering insane low rates for large groups. Finally, travelling on a budget without feeling like travelling on a budget! A few Nationals staff members were able to take some Contiki trips, and they can’t stop raving about the time they spent.
Haven’t sold you yet? Grab your monogrammed Vera tote and start packing…from now until the end of February you can enter to win the trip of a lifetime, all in thanks to the new partnership with Contiki! Answer a simple question correctly each day and you could be on your way to see the Great Wall of China. Or the canals of Venice. Or the frozen tundra of Scandinavia. Thanks to Contiki, the world is your playground.
Enter to win, and let us know on Facebook or Twitter where your dream vacay is. In the meantime, I’ll be dreaming of warmer climates with an Aussie surf instructor showing me the ropes.
