How many of you collegiettes have already started fantasizing about spring break? I know I have! Where you’ll go, who you’ll go with, the fact that you won’t have to worry about any homework at all, etc. Spring break comes with all sorts of perks, and so does traveling in general; that’s why we’re excited to announce Her Campus’ newest partner, Contiki!

Founded in 1962, Contiki Vacations is the leading guided travel company for 18-35 year olds. They’re the perfect travel company for any collegiette looking for a safe travel abroad trip and they’re also a perfect way to meet new people from across the country!

Offering trips in 46 countries and 8 regions (Asia, Australia, Egypt, Europe, North America, South America, New Zealand, Mexico), Contiki sets you up with planned transportation and accommodations for the entire trip (and you’ll get a full itinerary beforehand which you can send to your family so they know where you are, etc.), plus the trips have super knowledgeable, helpful (and actually cool) tour guides who can help you with whatever you need. Contiki tours have up to 50 people on them which makes the whole thing a lot safer than traveling alone. You can go on a Contiki trip together with friends, as a couple, or fly solo and meet other travelers!

The best part? We know trips abroad can be super expensive, but because Contiki plans for large groups, the trips are ridiculously low priced. Who can say no that?!

So how is HC positive Contiki rocks? Because HC Co-founder Windsor and HC employees Taylor and Brittany just returned from their 14-day Mediterranean Highlights tour with Contiki through Spain, Italy, and France!

To celebrate our partnership with Contiki, we’re kicking off our “Have Contiki, Will Travel” contest to send one collegiette on a Contiki tour of her choice, for FREE! To enter, just answer a simple question each day, correctly here by the end of February and you could be well on your way to passport stamping. The contest runs through Wednesday, February 29th, so what are you waiting for? Go enter!

Good luck, collegiettes!
