Many students at NYU study abroad take the opportunity of
living in another country to travel on weekends! Especially living in a city
like London, I have tons of access to nearby European countries. Many of us
take weekend trips (since we mostly have 3 day weekends) which are really fun,
but also take preparation! (No matter how last minute the trip is!) So I am
giving you a guide to the perfect weekend trip while abroad. Heeeerrree we go.
1. Have credit on your phone. Sometimes I go weeks without topping up my vodaphone. While traveling, make sure you are reachable!
2. Travel with friends. This may seem obvious (most people wouldn't go alone) but it really is important to travel with a group of friends that you trust! If something were to happen, you want to know that they would take care of you.
3. Have a plan. Although it may be fun to go to a new country without any plans holding you back, the truth is you're only in this country for 2 days. Make the most of it and see things that you may never get the chance to see again!
4. Map out the boring stuff. Already know how to get from the airport/bus station/train station to your hostel. The time it takes to figure out where you're going is time wasted not exploring the city!
5. Have enough money. Do not travel with a small amount of money in your bank account. Not only will you want to be able to enjoy yourself while there, if there's an emergency you should have enough money for an expensive cab ride, etc.
6. Tell everyone where you're going! Let people know (especially your parents) where you'll be for the weekend!
7. HAVE FUN!
