I feel like this post was made just for me. I’m a junior in college and literally have dreams at night about traveling abroad, but I always feel like it’s out of reach because of my college sized budget! This definitely helps me to feel a little less discouraged. Hoping to find more info on how to get started, where to look for more starting out info or saving money! Do you have any other posts on this I should know about?! Thanks!

I think it is great that you got out there and went to Korea when you weren’t exactly sure about it! I lived in Rome for 7 months and would love to do something like that again – but with my husband this time!

She really enjoyed it!

Cuba would be incredible. Wow, can’t wait to hear how that one turns out.

We’re in the same boat this summer. *sigh*

Heard great things about Hong Kong from friends who’ve studied/worked there. I had a friend in Shanghai who somehow got around the blogging firewalls but was only able to do it like once every two months…

I graduated in 08 also and I’ve been wanting to teach abroad ever since. I’m so impressed that you just went and did it. I think if I had a friend along it would be much easier but I’m a little nervous to just get up and leave- plus I have a great apt in NYC that I can’t give up now! (haha hear the excuses?!) I’m hoping to travel to India with 2 of my best friends in March and possibly Cuba in April with my Church but I would had love to live somewhere for months!

On my own and on a budget (aka without the parents)… I volunteered at a school in Buenos Aires, Argentina for two months one summer in undergrad. It was a great way to travel alone! Met a ton of cool people and really got to know the city!
I also studied abroad in Portugal. I met with a friend before my program started and we rented a car and drove around Spain and Portugal. We had picnic lunches from grocery stores and stayed in really cheap hostels or hotels when hostels were full. Really fun and definitely do-able!
