Familia Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Have a young adult friend doing a self-study abroad. Rick Steves website is my go-to for travel tips. Is there something like this aimed at young adults and their more thrifty/adventuresome bents?

Hoggirl Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Full disclosure - I know nothing about this app - I wouldn't even be allowed on it because of my age! - ha ha! One of the developers is the son of a college classmate of mine. It's fairly new, so I really don't know if it's any good or not, but it is targeted toward students studying abroad since the interests of young people may be different than the interests of "old" people. Might be worth a look. https://thepienews.com/news/mobile-graduates-launch-app-for-the-study-abroad-generation/?utm_content=buffer38acd&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Andy Steves, Rick Steves son, runs a website and wrote a book aimed at college-aged adults. It might be worth checking out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familia Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) These are great leads! They'll be a great help -- I've passed them along.Thank you. Edited to add - had more chance to peruse. Really, really great info about all things travel for young people on the wsaeurope.com (Andy Steves) website. Also sells tours.

FriedClams Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I love Rick Steves. Love his books. I also like the Lonely Planet guides. I think they're great too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigs Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 This is so worth finding again for our (and your) young 'uns. How do I tag this? (Oldie but Dumbie here=) I made a thread on how to add tags: How to add a Tag Here are the instructions: The original poster can add a tag to the 1st post. Underneath the Topic Title, is a field for "Topic Tags". Just add the tags there. As far as I know, only the original poster can add tags to the 1st post. The original poster can later edit the original post and add additional tags. To add tags, go the your 1st post, click on edit. Underneath the Topic Title is a field for "Topic Tags". Just add the tags there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
