This short guide will give you some ideas about were to travel this year on any budget, whatever kind of trip you are looking for, from city breaks, to life changing expeditions.
Party Holidays
If you are young enough to handle seven nights of drinking the chances are you won't be able to afford extravagant holidays. Here are some places you can go for the ultimate fashionable (and yet cheap) party in the sun ideal for students and younger people celebrating finishing A levels.
Greece Ios
This small rock placed in the ocean off mainland Greece is carpeted with bars, clubs and bikinis. The island has no airport so must be accessed by a return ferry from the mainland approx £40. Croatia
After emerging from former Yugoslavia Croatia is now being recognised as one of the best places to party if you love beaches. There are loads of small islands, and that means loads of beaches and in turn this means loads of parties. You will start off your evening in a chilled café bar and move on at 1am to dance clubs. Brac Island is a good place to start, although because accommodation and transport is so cheap we recommend you island hop as the mood takes you. Florida
If you can't wait till the summer why not join spring break in Florida during march, here due to great exchange rates you can double your money, if that's not a reason to party I don't know what is. With an average of one wet t-shirt contest a minute this is prime location for you to mingle with US students at their best.
Adventures
As you are reading on I assume you want more to show your folks back home than photos of large piles of empty beer glasses.
The Via Ferrata
This translates literally as "iron roads". These are a collection of ladders and cables draped over cliff faces in the alps to allow snipers in WWII to get into position. No-one took them down and they now provide easy access to some of the most dramatic settings in the alps. The best are to be found in the Dolomite mountains in Italy. www.colletts.co.uk is a good place to start. Over-landing
Simple great adventure. Find a group of friends, rent a 4x4 vehicle, drive through exotic location camping each night. For instance Delhi to Mumbaim, over the Tha desert, the white city of Udaipur. Roughly £400 for truck rental and accommodation for 14 nights. Best to rent once your out their.
Final Options
If partying wasn't for you and adventures sounded somewhat expensive then consider these, our ultimate budget holiday choices:
Volunteer Farm Work
Spend your days picking fruit, and your nights around a camp fire telling stories, with accommodation and food included farm work can be a great way to literally see the land and meet some new people. Cruise Ship
Never a cheap option unless you opt for a job on the aforementioned vessel. When searching for jobs online be careful of scam websites. International Courier
Fly the world for less by carrying someone else's mail with you. Drop off documents at appointed place to receive huge flight discounts.
I hope this has given you some ideas
