STATravel is the world's largest student travel agency. STA sells tours (GAP, Contiki, Topdeck, Intrepid, OZ/KIWI Experience, Busabout, etc.), domestic and international plane tickets, Eurail passes, hotel/hostel, travel insurance, the ISIC card, etc.. STA often has cheaper airfare for students, teachers, and people under 26 because of contracts with the airlines. These student/teacher/youth tickets are very flexible, most are cancellable, and almost all only have a $35 change fee if you need to change the ticket.
Europe from a Backpack is a compilation of travel stories collected by Mark Pearson, a fellow Seattleite.
Happy Backpackers
I chose to do this rather than book my own trip in Rome - I wanted to experience one organized/sight-seeing trip rather than a relaxing vacation like many of my others had been. Two friends and I signed up for WSA Rome and don't regret a thing. We met wonderful people, were led by an awesome tour guide Rhianne, and got to see everything I wanted to see in Rome. Plus eat all the best food. There is an optional dinner on the last night that we didn't do right away, but we ended up going to it, and it was SO worth the 20 euro. I made memories and friends, and got to see a beautiful, historic city thanks to WSA!!
