I haven’t really talked about this much on here, but some of my trips have been with Contiki, a company that caters to young travelers. You have to be 18-35 to travel with them, which sadly means that I have aged out of their trips, but I had fun on the trips I did through them. The first time I went to Europe was with Contiki, as were my first trip to Italy and my Peru adventure last year. I definitely recommend them for young people who want to travel, but are scared to go completely on their own and are working with a tight budget.
Also! They have a blog, Six-Two, where contributors can post about a variety of subjects. I love to read the various stories in The Travel Project, as they feature some incredibly inspirational people.
Why am I talking about this? Because I am now a contributor at Six-Two! Please (PLEASE!!!) check out my post about why Michigan is an underrated travel destination: Michigan is the Most Underrated State and Here Is Why.
