    Just do it.

    Go to an exchange program or go to school overseas (I think my son may be able to escape American cost disease that way.)

    Locate in a city that is close to many things, has a good airport, etc. I spent a year in Dresden, Germany and got to see a lot of western and eastern europe.

    Also take opportunities; hike in the blue mountains in Jamaica in the winter, for instance.

      I assume you're a college student in the USA. One thing that I wish I had considered was doing an exchange program inside the united states in addition to studying abroad.

        I am an Indian sophomore, I would consider Europe to be my travel destination to explore.

        Hostels and youth train tickets can make overland train travel in Europe very inexpensive. That leaves the priciest part as plane tickets.

          Are internships a good way to travel to and within Europe considering the work also. I have never done an internship before and am skeptical that would there be enough time to travel.
