Become a World Traveler (Without Breaking the Bank!) With Contiki

If you’re still oozing jealousy over all of the awesome trips your friends took for spring break, it’s probably time for you to get away yourself. Maybe you think you don’t have the money to afford some equally awesome travels of your own, or maybe you have no idea where to go—either way, Contiki has you covered! Their destination suggestions and budgeting tips make jetsetting simple, so you can score deals and offers to maximize your trip.

College is a time for broadening your horizons, learning about new cultures, and undergoing life-changing experiences (the kind that you can add to your resume to make yourself a more well-rounded and marketable potential employee!). Contiki helps wanderlust-stricken collegiettes find fabulous trips for under $1200 every day. Whether you’re looking to see the Eiffel Tower or the Great Barrier Reef, there are loads of affordable travel options for whatever kind of trip you’re looking for.


Beyond offering you crazy-affordable travel deals, Contiki actually provides you with lifestyle tips to help you save money on your own every day. From skipping your morning latte to getting a credit card that earns you points toward a free flight overseas, these tips could make earning the dough for your adventure even easier.

They also have a layaway feature that lets you register your tour online, then share the link with your family and friends to help fund your trip. (Hello, graduation present!) Even if you’re not interested in having your friends or family pitch in, the layaway feature gives you the opportunity to make payments in different increments so that you can budget your savings and make payments over time to pay off your trip.

If you book a trip with a big group of friends, you’llsee even more savings! If four or more people come on the same trip, the discount is 5% per person, a group of seven or more is a discount of 7.5% per person, and a group of 10 or more gets everyone 10% off (or the 11th person travels for free!). The more the merrier, indeed.

Now that you’ve got an idea of all of the fantastic ways that Contiki can help you achieve your dream of becoming a world traveler on a budget, check out their trip finder today to start planning the vacation of a lifetime!
