5 Travel Destinations Worth Visiting In Your 20s

This is a response to “5 Beautiful Cities To Visit Before 25.”

Traveling on a budget is essential to your twenties, whether studying abroad, taking a trip with your best friends, or going on a solo trip! Here are five great travel destinations to hit in your twenties and beyond, in no particular order.

1. Berlin, Germany

I feel like I can’t have a conversation about my study-abroad experience in Europe without raving about the week I spent in Berlin. No matter what you’re interested in - whether it’s food, history, culture, or art - Berlin has it. If you like music and dancing, the nightlife is unparalleled.

2. Tokyo, Japan

Okay, I admit I’m biased on this one. My boyfriend has lived in Tokyo for the past three years for college and although I haven't been (yet), I’ve seen how appealing the city is for those in their twenties. From savory snacks to sweet treats, Japan has so many options for you to eat. From the whimsical Ghibli Museum to the amazing traditional temples around the country, book your next destination trip to Japan!

3. Lima, Peru

My best friend from high school had an internship focused on sustainability in Peru last summer and I could not be more jealous. Peru is the perfect destination for those who enjoy the outdoors and love to have fun. Learn how to surf, go on hikes that lead to amazing views, and explore incredible Peruvian classic food!

4. Amsterdam, Netherlands

Although I wasn’t able to visit Amsterdam while studying abroad, I heard so many great stories from my peers about their experiences in the Venice of the North. Other than the obvious pass time, check out the largest flea market in Europe, attend a film festival, and go vintage shopping!

5. Madrid, Spain

I was lucky enough to visit Madrid while abroad as well and it was truly the best weekend trip ever. From eating tapas with friends to singing karaoke with strangers to enjoying different outdoor markets and everything in between, Madrid has so much to offer!

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.
