Travel supplies

Here’s the thing, it’s summer and you want to get out of the town that reminds you of high school. The problem is, the college you love and miss so dearly ran off with your funds and now you barely have enough money to fill up your gas tank. Well don’t completely give up hope! If you grab enough friends to chip in, you can have a summer of cheap travels and priceless memories.

So pack up your summer tote equipped with sheer dresses and that bikini you splurged too much on, and get to traveling! It doesn’t have to be as daunting and expensive as your parents say it is, and it’s time you take a trip for yourself.

Check below for our top 5 cities to visit on that college budget! I promise you won’t regret it.

1. Savannah, Georgia

Though things get pricey in the historic district, Savannah has reasonable lodging deals anywhere else. Bike along the mansions and parks while enjoying a drink or two. Fun fact: Savannah’s open container law allows you to drink in the public sunshine! Not too shabby, eh?

2. Pensacola, Florida

Head over to Pensacola during October and you’ll run into their annual beach festival De Luna Fest. What’s better than staying tan through fall? This would be a perfect trip to take for recent graduates. One last “hurrah” before becoming a real person is well deserved.
