We’ve Caught the Travel Bug, Have You?

 

Have you ever dreamed of sunbathing in the Greek islands? Wonder what it’s like to swim in the coral reefs of Australia…experience the romance of Paris…or climb the Great Wall of China? Well now, you can! We could not be more excited to announce that Her Campus has officially partnered with Contiki, the #1 travel company for young people! If you love to travel but hate the stress of planning your vacation, Contiki is the perfect solution. Founded in 1962, Contiki Vactions has over 50 years of experience offering over 200 guided tours in more than 40 countries! 

 

Whether you know where you want to go, or just want to explore your options, Contiki can help you decide what airline to take, where the best restaurants are, and what hotels are safe. If your parents are concerned about your safety (let’s be honest, our parents are always worried about our safety), then say no more. Contiki sets up their travelers with planned transportation and accommodations for the entire trip! What’s even better is that no matter where you go, Contiki offers a great combination between guided/optional activities and completely free days to explore all on your own.

 

So you’re probably asking yourself, that sounds great and all…but what’s the catch? The best part about Contiki is that there is no catch, or fine-lines, or hidden fees. Contiki offers ridiculously low prices thanks to the large group rates (the more the merrier!) Now you can travel like a superstar at completely affordable prices! We know that Contiki is as awesome as as it seems because our very own founders and other HC employees have experienced these trips firsthand! If we haven’t already convinced you that Contiki is the best, then we are about to. From now until the end of February you can enter to win the trip of a lifetime thanks to our new partnership with Contiki! All you have to do is answer a simple question correctly each day here and you could be on your way to see the pyramids of Egypt…or the jungles in Peru. Thanks to Contiki, the possibilities are endless!
