There are also ways of saving money so that you can travel on a budget. Here are a few tips I have picked up as an exchange student.

How to travel AND be a Successful Student
Before coming to Australia I had been both travelling and been a student for 1 ½ years, but I had never been both at the same time. Combining travelling and studying in the study abroad programme uses a different set of skills that I have had to perfect in order to make the most of my time here, without falling behind with uni work. Here are a few tips on how to be a successful student and explore the world, for those of you who are considering studying abroad.
