Contiki Take Me Away!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at High Point chapter.

Be honest: back when you were a junior in high school flipping through all those glossy college brochures, one of the things that most caught your eye was the Study Abroad section. Pictures of students wearing their college t-shirts hiking the Great Wall of China or posing in front of the Eiffel Tower and you were sold. You vowed to become one of those students in the brochure and live out a dream semester abroad.

And then you become a broke college student.

Everyone encourages going abroad when you’re in college. Who doesn’t want to see the world when you’re at your prime? But finding the means neccessary to travel there is harder than it looks. And not only that, but planning a whirlwind adventure can be a lot of pressure. Trying to experience everything in a short amount of time AND for the best value requires major preparation.
