Where do you want to go? Asia? Europe? Latin America? Africa?

I came back from my semester abroad in Warsaw recently and it was amazing. I've traveled around eastern Europe and the Balkans with my boyfriend after that. I had the time of my life, really :)

Really, my best advice it to (almost) never say no. If somebody invites you to a garden-gnome themed party? Go! Asian cooking class? Go! Sketchy people offer you drugs? Ok, maybe don't go...

Also, make friends with locals. If you're in Europe, look up the free walking tours in your city. Look up the couchsurfing meet-ups in the city because even if you have a place to stay, the people at the meet ups are super friendly and super cool. Enjoy yourself!
