Benjamin’s Musings

Being a college student out on your own is rough sometimes. A lot of the difficulty comes from being strapped for cash most of the time.  I already have so many bills to pay, such as tuition, rent, utilities, and I have to feed myself on top of everything.  Now don’t get me wrong, I still have enough left over to save myself on a rainy day or do something I want to do.  I love traveling to new places and experiencing different, new cultures.  When I hear my friends talk about their visits to cities in the old world, my interest is instantly piqued.  Several of my classmates tell me about their Flights to Europe as a reward for their high school graduation.  They tell me about the great time they had over there, and some small towns or villages they visited.  Usually I’m too shy to ask them much about it, so I’ll go home and do some research to try to learn a bit all the culture, all the while wishing I were on a student flight over.  I had free time coming up because of a school break, and I wanted to take advantage of it.  Clearly, I needed to do some investigation on Airfares to Europe.

A man can only learn so much before they want to go experience some of it for himself.  Since I’m a strapped college student it is essential that I find the cheapest flights offered.  After I did some research and poked around with international airfares, I found that only a few carriers offered student airfare.  This was great, but most of them were domestic flights only, although a several of them provided me with just what I needed, student airfare on international flights!

I ended up flying into Hannover, Germany and took a bus to where I could be staying–a youth hostel in Walsrode, slightly to the north.  While I was there I enjoyed wonderful sights and excellent foods and spirits.  As is the nature of all vacations, once you are settled and beginning to enjoy yourself, it’s time to leave!  I looked out the window at the rich history and fertile landscape of the country.  As my student flight took me back home, I stared out the window at the great land I was leaving behind.
