European cities are awsome in general. Just don't get hurt, because the ambulance is never coming.

I don't necessarily agree with you... international travel is not "very Cheap" especially if you are going with a family like most of these kids. Realize that for a majority of people, travelling to 10+ countries is A Lot of money

You can do it for very cheap...I went to France, Czech, Denmark, and Amsterdam with only 25 pounds in my pocket when I left.

Planes are expensive, but travelling doesn't always have to be.

I mean I made more money the year I was in NZ than I would have had I been working in the states...

yea you don't need to be rich to travel internationally. and by the time you're as old as I think you are if you actually wanted to travel outside Canada/US then you would have. My longest international trip was 2 months and after all was said and done with airfare included it cost $2400. 3 weeks of that was also in pricey western Europe (although the rest was in Africa so that may have made up for it). But $670 for round trip ticket to/from Paris after all fees, bring something comfy to sleep on, and you're set.

why are you assuming that these are all kids traveling with family?

I know a lot of people (myself included) who have scrounged up money for a plane ticket straight out of high school. It's pretty simple really... work for a few months-> dont spend money on stupid shit-> buy plane ticket -> go traveling...

When you don't have any debt to pay off or kids to support it's pretty easy to do. For example, in 2012 I went to Central America for two months, total cost = $1600 (airfare included..).

This thread means nothing if there isn't a day (or month or year) count next to each country visited.

Aruba was by far my favorite. Such an awesome, laid back, chill island vibe and I partied for the first time in my life with sean kingston on the beach (kinda sounds gay, but the man is fucking cool).

Well I definitely disagree with you because I know from 15+ years of experience that you can travel for very cheap. Flying the family to Paris for Christmas on Delta is not a necessity and obviously not the kind of trips I'm referring too, so it's a pretty silly example.

I'm not rich, I understand the value of a dollar.
