Literally no responsibilities but keeping yourself alive!

Mar 21, 2018

1. This is the only time in your adult life where you actually have zero responsibilities. You have no job, no papers to write, and no bills to pay. You're not even being irresponsible because you're not blowing anything off!

2. Gelato in Italy.

3. This is the last time you'll think staying in a hostel is fun. Soon you'll be old and cranky and will think sleeping in a bunk bed (even a cool bunk bed) in a room full of strangers sounds horrifying.

4. You'll get to experience views so good you might almost forget to take a photo (almost).

15. Traveling cheap gives you the best stories. You're bound to have something hilarious (or hilarious in retrospect) happen when you're taking the train to the bus to the rando airport to the budget airline to another bus to a tram. Paying an extra $200 to fly direct = so boring.
