Ultimate Spring Break Vacations

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

There is a site for the ultimate vacations that is perfect for college students and recent graduates called efultimatebreak.com. It has a selection of over 60 trips all over the world. Pretty much everything is included in the trip: the flight, the accommodations, transportation to destinations, breakfast and a local guide that shows you all the best attractions. There are payment plans so you don’t have to pay for the trip all at once. The trips involve group travel, so you won’t be alone in a foreign country. You stick with your fellow group of travelers throughout the whole trip.
