One of my favorite online past times, (besides “shopping sprees,” where I rack up insane amounts of money for clothing I will never buy,) is planning trips. With a heavy heart, I realize that I won’t be jetting off to Paris anytime soon, touring the Eiffel tower, savoring croissants and butchering the language. Doesn’t hurt to plan ahead though, right?
Well recently, in the midst of one of these dream jet-setting sessions, I was turned onto a travel site, Contiki Vacations. Founded in 1962, Contiki is one of the leading guided travel companies strictly for 18-35 year olds, ideal for collegiette’s in search of traveling abroad safely and economically. With Contiki, you have the chance to meet new people from all across the country. So, whether traveling with friends or heading abroad solo, it’s comforting to know you’ll never really be lonely. You may make a new friend or two along the way!
Contiki offers trips in 46 countries and 8 regions that include Asia, Australia, Egypt, Europe, North America, South America, New Zealand and Mexico. You can plan trips that are within your budget, making traveling to your dream destination more realistic. One cool feature on the site, “Compare Contiki,” lets curious, (and frugal,) collegiettes compare how much a Contiki tour costs versus what they could tentatively spend if traveling on their own. Per day, the savings are at least $100, if not slightly more.
As well as providing vacations at multiple price points, Contiki offers tours that go beyond shuffling through museums and driving by major landmarks. According to the site, tour guides take the time to recommend and reveal local gems in your destination so you can have the most authentic and rewarding experience while traveling. Also, not every minute of every day is structured. You have time to yourself to explore and create your own adventures, which is what traveling really is about!
Speaking of creating adventures, our favorite ladies, Annie, Stephanie and Windsor recently returned from both the Mediterranean Highlights and London, Paris + Amsterdam tours.
