A kind-of-related anecdote: the summer before I started high school, the captain of the cross country team left me a message on my home phone’s answering machine (even writing that makes me feel old), inviting me to a little trail run slash picnic to get to know each other before the season started. But they have their perks, too! Speaking as someone who has always been interested in traveling, but often used to let fear and uncertainty dictate my decisions regarding going abroad, or going anywhere or doing anything really, a tour is a hugely appealing option to, let’s say, whet your travel appetite. By the way, just because you don’t feel like you’re massively adventurous or brave or cool doesn’t mean you can’t be a world-traveler.
Tours are certainly not always my favorite way to travel, and of course have their downfalls. There is a stigma against going on tours within the travel community, I have noticed, and I roll my eyes at that. Talk about relieving the stresses of traveling! You literally have to worry about nothing but making sure your passport is up to date and you’re at the airport in time to board your flight abroad.
#EF ULTIMATE BREAK FOR OLDER PLUS#
Basically Contiki’s less crazy cousin, EFUB offers travelers between the ages of 18 and 28 the chance to go on all-inclusive trips to Europe, Asia, South America, and Oceania (all-inclusive meaning airfare, accommodations, some meals, short tours of each destination, plus a few fun extras, all for a low, low price tag). There's nothing wrong with hanging out with people who are older than me, but my mindset was to take a trip with a group my age, and then when I find a city/country I really enjoy, I can plan a different trip later when I'm older.Take note: EF Ultimate Break, formally EF College Break, rebranded after my trip in October 2017 (to appeal more to non-college aged travelers), but Highlights of Eastern Europe is still available, including Berlin! Visit their website to see the itinerary and book.ĮF Ultimate Break has been one my favorite discoveries. Minor Edit: I forgot to mention that an appeal of EF was the fact that I would be hanging out with people around my age. Pricing and or saving money isn't an issue as I have already saved up money for the aforementioned canceled Australian semester. My question is this: would this be a good trip if I wanted to make friends and go all around Europe and get a little bit of culture?
The biggest complaint I saw was the fact that they do rush you a bit and you don't get to truly be immersed in the culture of the city/country you're in and I thought as much since you're not even there for a week. Many people said they had the time of their lives and made lots of friends while others didn't get everything they wanted out of it. I decided on the Europe one and started reading reviews for the company. My friend recommended that I go on an EF Ultimate Trip. I (22M) wanted to go to Australia for a semester abroad that didn't happen for obvious reasons and have now decided to take a trip to Europe.
