The whole reason why I'm so obsessed with traveling, is seeing enough things to encourage OTHER PEOPLE to travel. So... I'll tell you this: Study Abroad. Just DO, because your excuses not to are just not valid. Almost anyone can make it happen, as many schools will help you out, so pick your favorite country and LIVE THERE! It will be the only time in your life that you can ever do something like this, as we're young, we're fun, and we've got strong enough legs to carry us all around the world. PLUS STA deals are cheap for STUDENTS! Hooray!! That's great news! so take advantage of being young.

I'd say I'm a pretty nostalgic person, so this connection makes a lot of sense to me: Studying abroad is a bit like living in the dorms; you get bunk-beds, wear shower shoes, meet new and random people, stay out all night, call home only when you feel like it... and the BEST part is, in Europe 18 is the LEGAL drinking age.... ok so that's just a perk, but it's a pretty good one.

That said: Studying abroad in Holland was my pick... and I recommend it to anyone. So if anyone just randomly ends up in... say... Maastricht, NL, let me know cause I'll tell you ALL about what's good there!

I'll say it again: JUST DO.
