My favorite low cost airline
It’s no secret that one of my favorite parts of studying abroad was traveling, and having made it to 11 countries, it’s safe to say I did plenty of it. I plan on doing just as much traveling when I head abroad this fall, but since China includes so many regions with their own geography, climate, and culture, I don’t know how big of a rush I’ll be in to leave The Middle Kingdom.
Pop Inn Hostel
Here goes, another one of my professional quality hostel reviews. This one’s about a little gem we found in Rome called the Pop Inn Hostel.

expert hostel reviews. I stayed in The Kinlay House Dublin, and while it’s not up to the level of Wombat’s (the standard by which I will forever judge every other hostel), it was definitely up there.

There are many options out there: hotels, campgrounds, other peoples’ couches, and hostels. While hotels are nice, they are usually pretty expensive, and it can be hard to accommodate large numbers of people.
Believe it or not, there are actually websites out there that will help you rent a couch in some random person’s apartment for a night, but let’s be honest – who wants to curl up on the couch of stranger they don’t know in a foreign country.

I'm a 23 year old college grad, and during my junior year abroad in Scotland, I came to the realization that it's hard to know what you want to do in this world if you've never seen it. With that in mind, I decided to study abroad again during the 2011-12 academic year, this time in Beijing, China. Read more
