It is a bit irksome how people treat travel as a must-do, when to actually take even a modest trip somewhere can usually require about $500 up-front (US dollars).

[diet_poison]

I really wish it were more affordable to everyone, because travel is a life-changing experience.

I haven't been to nearly all the places I wish I could visit, and money is very much an object to me right now, but the study abroad experience I had was one of the best things I ever did. I would like a future where that's accessible to all and not just some.

Personally, considering the massive environmental cost, I wish that travel was a big lifetime event, not what middle-class and above people do three times a year. Still, maybe the study-abroad scheme is a good way to do it - you can go on a long-distance holiday but you have to stay there for at least three months?

[diet_poison]

It's a great way to do it - it costs roughly the same as a semester of college, so, while definitely not cheap, it doesn't make much difference if you were going to pay for college anyway. (Note that this is if you pick the right program, I'm sure some are pricier. The place I stayed when I went wasn't exactly Paris in terms of expense, so.)

I agree too about the environmental impact but that's another thing I hope changes with future technology advances. :)

Another great way to have an experience abroad that is not only free, it pays - TEACH ENGLISH! You can do it in East Asia (and maybe South America?) with only a bachelor's degree, in anything, and that's just for the work visa purposes. I taught for two years in Japan, and made more money than I would've with any job at home after my undergrad. Some European countries require a certification course, but if you want to do it, it isn't a bad investment, and with that certification you get paid even better and can go anywhere.

Of course, you do kind of have to save some money for start up costs - the flight over, deposit on an apartment, and such, so the movement itself is still expensive, but once the paychecks come in, life is very good.

[diet_poison]

I did a little research on this and none of the programs I found paid much at all. :(

Plus startup costs are definitely an issue for me, especially with student debt.

The Jet Programme (in Japan) pays the most. It's pretty good money for a fresh grad.

If you teach English in Korea or Taiwan you'll make good money... relative to Korea or Taiwan. Living expenses there are a lot lower. You won't be saving much but you will live well while you are there.

If you teach English in China you can live like a king but your money is worth nothing once you leave.

A lot of these programs also subsidize your apartment/living expenses, so keep that in mind, too. I hear in Korea they almost always pay for your apartment. When I was on the Jet Programme in Japan, my apartment was subsidized, so I only paid about 300USD/mo in rent. I paid of my student loans traveled a bunch, and saved up some money. I would recommend it if you want to ride the gravy train. Just don't expect it to be a meaningful or fulfilling experience.

[diet_poison]

I'd really like to go to Latin America, if possible! I want to improve my Spanish. I looked up programs for Costa Rica (where I did my study abroad) but didn't come up with a whole lot that would actually make me any money. I'm ok with living day-to-day, but my debt isn't gonna just go away, and I'd still need to save up for plane tickets and startup expenses.

[(Anonymous)]

Sing it. My dream trip is in my own country and I've been saving up for a decade for a five day trip I finally get to take next month. I haven't been on a proper holiday ever in my adult life, so this is kind of big. My husband and I even nixed a honeymoon when we got married so we could out the money down on other things and then kids came and life happened.

Oh wow, I hope you have the TIME OF YOUR LIFE!!!! I am legit excited for you, lol!
