Student vacations on a small budget

Summer vacation is almost upon us and if you're a student with serious wanderlust and a small bank account, things might look grim. A lot of determination and a little savvy can help you fit in a good trip on a very tight budget.

Consider getting an International Student Identity Card (ISIC) for $22. This little card will entitle you to some great discounts, and a lot of great budget travel ideas. ISIC members receive $15% off AmTrak fares and 11% off Jet Blue fares. Sponsored by the International Student Travel Confederation, you can explore options to work and study abroad, as well as find emergency services in many foreign countries. This little card is well worth the expense.
Take a biking adventure. Spend your vacation getting in shape and using budget transportation. Check out RentaBikeNow.com.
Book your airfare through a student-travel only site like Student Universe. Compare to make sure you're getting a good deal but usually these sites deliver and get you the cheapest flight out there.
Stay in youth hostels. Some require a membership card; but not all. Check out hostels.com to check options where you are traveling. Not only are hostels true budget accommodations, but you will find travelers and hostel directors who can give you all kinds of good money saving tips on attractions, food, and transportation options.
Pick up a Let's Go guide. Written by students for students, these guides are worth the investment. Or, for short trips, pick it up from your local library.
Take a volunteer vacation. Habitat for Humanity will let you volunteer to build houses around the world and keep your expenses to a minimum. If camping appeals, check out Wilderness Volunteers. You can spend a week maintaining a national park. Earthwatch Institute offers volunteer vacations in 45 countries working on projects in zoology, ecology and archeology. Many other opportunities exist. Check with your favorite non-profits for what they offer.
