A lot of students want to travel – but they don't have much money or don't want to travel alone. Sound familiar? If so, why don't you travel and stay at youth hostels? They are cheap, and you'll meet friendly people from all over the world.

There are more than 4,000 hostels in over 60 different countries. They vary from simple buildings to magnificent old castles.

Interested in a more active vacation? How about checking into a lodge near a volcano in Costa Rica? Hike through the rain forest during the day. In the evening, you could watch red-hot lava coming out of the volcano.

Do you prefer cities? Why not stay at the Jockey Club Mt. Davis Youth Hostel in Hong Kong? It overlooks the harbor and isn't far from the excitement of downtown.

Tired of being on land? How about a room on the af Chapman in Stockholm, Sweden? Built in 1888, this sailing ship has been rocking tired tourists to sleep for more than 50 years.

Wherever you go, you'll meet talkative travelers, share stories with them, and gain a greater understanding of the world and its people. So what are you waiting for? Select a country and let’s go!
