I LOVE this company, which is aimed at young adults aged 18 to 29 (I’ve been on trips with EFUB with recent high-school graduates traveling alongside a 28-year-old couple on their honeymoon, so it’s really good for anyone in that age range), and recommend it to anyone feeling a little nervous about taking a trip on their own (or to anyone who wants to make some easy friends from all around the country). I was nervous I was a sheltered, flighty girl who still wanted to travel, and this was the perfect chance for me to get my feet wet.ĮF is cheap compared to some other companies because they are mostly reserving hostels over hotels and buses between countries to save money on airfare. I was planning on meeting up with my travel companions and traveling throughout Western Europe, from the UK to France to Italy to Spain, for a month before venturing off to start my first full-time job. The very first trip I took with EF Ultimate Break was a few weeks after my college graduation, when I packed my suitcase and boarded a plane for London. And what better way to make friends than by forcing them to share a tiny hostel room with you for a month while you make them go out to dinner with you? It’s actually pretty effective. As someone is who is a little more reserved around new people, I’ve found myself able to make friends easily (and I have made some really good friends) through tours because your travel companions are literally forced to spend time with you (muahaha). I have traveled first with tour groups and then on my own, and I still am a big fan of tours. Visit their website to see the current itinerary for this trip, Grand Tour of Europe.Ī few months ago I wrote a post about my second EF Ultimate Break trip through several countries in Eastern Europe, and it has surprisingly been my most popular post so far. It seems that tours are a popular way to travel, no matter how old or well-traveled you are.
Take note: EF Ultimate Break, formally EF College Break, rebranded after my trip in October 2017 (to appeal more to non-college aged travelers), and the Grand Tour of Europe is slightly different than it was when I went on it.
