Getting Around Without Going Broke
Travel here. Travel there. Travel everywhere…and back again. It's inevitable that besides just the obvious need to get to your destination, you'll want to travel around while abroad and see as much as possible. The challenge is trying to do that without spending a small fortune. Fortunately, it's common knowledge that most of us don't have money to burn and there are ways, and agencies, which can help shave your costs.
Getting There and Back
If you've done much traveling by air, it might seem that your options are pretty limited as far as tickets go since they always seem to be non-refundable and unchangeable without paying a hefty fee. One-way tickets aren't particularly useful since most countries won't let you cross their borders without a return ticket in hand. If you buy a non-refundable roundtrip ticket, you're stuck with setting a departure date for your return home months in advance — or with an expensive new ticket further down the road if you decide that you want to stay a bit longer and see the sights.
Fortunately, there are ways around this dilemma. Flexible roundtrip tickets do exist and they're the best way to get you to your destination while allowing yourself a little leeway in changing your travel dates if needed.
Student-friendly travel sites like STA Travel (and others like it) specialize in student travel and can get you tickets at low rates and with great flexibility built in.
