New York City: Get together a group of your closest friends and take advantage of New York’s rich cultural and nightlife scenes. There are cafes and districts to suit everyone’s interest, and the constant energy of the city is perfect for young and old alike. Don’t forget the amzing theater district and some of the finest restaurants in the world. You might never want to return home…unless you finally run out of money. Oh well, you probably have at least 4 or 5 credit cards when the cash runs out.

Ibiza: This internationally-known party island off the coast of Spain invites young people from all over the world to go clubbing, lie on the beach and have an adventure of a lifetime. It has been a young person European hot spot for many years and will likely stay that way for years to come.

Miami: Considered one of the best U.S. cities for singles, Miami, FL, is home to beach bums who also love to party. The Latin atmosphere is full of life and energy. People stay out late and sleep in late. Sounds just like what you will probably do from arrival to departure day. In fact, you’ll probably need a vacation when you return home from vacation.

Cruises: Staying on a cruise is the perfect way to find and get to know your next friend or new found love. The shorter cruises are more likely to attract a younger crowd versus the longer cruises attracting an older group of travelers. This is primarily due to money.

Portugal: Going to Europe can be expensive on a person’s tight budget, but it’s possible to experience all the nightlife, culture and natural beauty that Portugal has to offer even when you don’t have major cash.
