Planning things before you go aboard

 I can't believe how fast time is flying by since I been here. There are so many things I still want to do. So today I decided to blog about things you should do before you come here so you're not rushing to see places and do things.

First is figure out where you want to study aboard and what are the countries surrounding your study aboard. After getting accepted make a list of things you want to do, places you want to visit and how much your budget is for traveling. Now go get a planner and start marking spring break and no school days. Leave the first months empty so you can explore the city you are in.

Now lets start looking into places you want to go. Here are websites that will help you in booking flights.
  • Momondo.com
  • RyanAir.com
  • LastMinute.com
  • Skyscanner.com
  • Cheaptickets.com
If you find tickets around $100 or lower book the trip because the earlier you book it the cheaper it is. If you are not ready to book it then put a postage on that weekend of the place and how much you found it for. Continue doing this until you have all the places you want to go to within your budget.

Next finding places to stay while on your trips are a little more difficult. Here in Europe a lot of people stay in hostels. It is like a motel and they're not bad at all. When looking for hostels you want to make sure that the rating is 80% or above. Website are:
  • Hostelworld.com
  • Hostelbookers.com
  • Hostels.com
If you don't have anyone to travel with and is afraid to travel alone then there are tours you can sign up for. Bus2Alps.com is a great one for Europe. They have fly in or bus tour.

Good Luck
