Great Student Travel Ideas

Students who enjoy travelling most likely have to do this on a tight budget, which is more possible to achieve if one is willing to veer away from main tourist ideas and experience more unique aspects of cities.

There is so much versatility when it comes to travelling, now that it has become much easier for student to travel and see so many things even with limited funds. Sometimes one has to sacrifice some of the more comfortable or quicker ways of travelling, but this can be made up for in the chance to see some unique parts of the city.

Find Cheap Accommodation

Staying with somebody who lives in the city is a great opportunity to see the best parts of a city. There are websites on there Internet where people, mainly young students, offer a bed/couch to stay on whilst visiting the city.

The best website is called Couchsurfing and you can find a wealth of options in practically every city. They range from allowing you to stay in their homes to meeting up for a coffee and showing you the city. This can be a great way to travel as it is cheap and you get to see parts of the city a tourist would not.

Many people also enjoy this because it allows one the freedom to travel alone, yet also meet people and not feel lonely. Many people make friends with these hosts and keep contact so it is also a nice way to get to know different types of people.

Other Useful Tips

Research the city before you travel there. There is nothing worse than returning from a city and realising that you missed something you really would have liked to see just because you didn't know it was there.

Check up good guides online and see if they have any student discounts in the city. Some European cities, Paris for example, offer free entry to all national monuments and museums to EU citizens under the age of 25. It will definitely be worth your while checking this type of information prior to travelling.
