There are so many possibilities and opportunities to travel
internationally from London. Many destinations are within your
budget - whatever it is!!
One of the easiest travel destinations from London is Europe. Check out
budget airlines such as
Easyjet and
Ryanair for
prices and destinations.
For organised tours there are companies such as
Contiki which offer European tours
ranging from camping to hotel accommodation
for 18-35 year olds. They offer fully guided tours taking you from city to city and showing you
the sites. You will have some spare time to explore on your own
if you wish.
If you prefer independent travel, pick up a
Lonely
Planet and let your imagination lead the way. Book your own
flights, buses and trains, mingle with the locals, meet other
travellers over a beer and discover cultures and places where tour
buses don't go. There will be
lots of laughter and maybe a few tears but more importantly many
stories to share.
For a good mix between the two, companies such as
Busabout offer hop-on / hop-off bus services which travel throughout Europe dropping off at hostels and
picking up when you are ready to leave. They give the security
of knowing you can get to your next destination and there will be
a bed for you when you arrive while allowing you to take as much time
to explore as you wish.
Some travel options to think about - take a ride on a gondola down the
canals of Venice; visit the remains of the Berlin Wall which separated East
and West Berlin; ride a camel around the pyramids of
Egypt or relax in a Parisian cafe on Les Champs-Elysees.
Most importantly you will be able to enjoy the experience of other
cultures, meet many new friends and have memories to last a lifetime.
