Can't decide where to go this year? Why not go everywhere!?!
Fit all of your “travel wish list” (conquering Eiffel Tower) into one trip with a ‘round the world ticket.
Go everywhere you want and see everything you want. You design the trip from start to finish, so you control the duration and the budget. We send student travelers ‘round the world all the time. It’s your turn to go!
If your "travel wish list" is done, then all you need to do is work with your STA Travel advisor to plot your course, book and go! Easy.
If you need some help, no worries. We've put together sample itineraries based on interests that are common among college students, like the outdoors. "Natural Wonders" goes to Peru, Australia, Cambodia, Egypt and South Africa and will have you:

Maybe you’re a big partier who loves Mardi Gras and would love to experience Carnival in Rio! Throw in Love Parade in Berlin, Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai, and Songkran in Bangkok and you have the ultimate ‘Round the World party trip! (see details by clicking "Parties/Festivals" to the right).
If you're thinking, "Like 'em but don't love 'em," then you should definitely build your trip from scratch. Your options are endless and you can travel based on the destination alone or maybe you want to visit cities known for their food, odd traditions, sports…whatever.
It's your call. As you think about your ultimate ‘Round the World trip, here are a few tips to keep in mind.
Take advantage of stopovers. These are like a 2-cities-for-1 deal.
A stopover is when you stay for more than 24 hours in a city where you’re changing planes. It’s a great way to break up a really long flight and see a new city for very little extra cost.
Think of it this way, on the way to Paris, you get off in London and take the day to see Big Ben, Parliament, and have a pint or two. Or, on the way to Sydney, you get off in Nadi, Fiji and hit the beach. Stopovers are FREE from the airlines. All you pay is for what you do during your stopover.
| Popular Stopover Cities | |
|---|---|
| Reykjavik, Iceland | Nadi, Fiji |
| London, England | Tokyo, Japan |
| Auckland, New Zealand |
Keep your feet on the ground for a little while! A ‘Round the World ticket isn’t just about airfare. It’s about the experience, meeting people and seeing more while you travel than just the clouds at 30,000 feet up (view from your airplane window). Take the train, travel by bus, join a tour…
Ask our experts about these STA Travel favorites:
- Zip from London to Paris (or vice versa) in just over two hours on Eurostar. You’ll get from London Pubs to Parisian Clubs in the blink of an eye. Take the bus-hovercraft-bus route and it will take hooouurs.
- Travel the Tran-Siberian or Trans-Mongolian trains between St. Petersburg, Russia and Beijing, China. You’ll have some stories to tell!!
- Take local transportation from Lima, Peru to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Using STA Travel to go ‘Round the World means your trip will be easy, affordable and flexible because of the way we do things.
Pay only for the flights you want, like an “a la carte” system. This keeps your costs down and ensures your itinerary will be exactly what you want. (Trips like these from the other guys can require you to pay for certain flights, which may be to destinations you don't really want to visit.)
Fly anywhere in the world. Wherever you want to go in North America, Europe, South Pacific, Middle East, South America and Africa, we can book a flight. You can fly any airline we work with and include as many destinations on your 'Round the World trip as you want. (The other guys can require you to fly certain airlines and can limit you to 16 flights for the entire trip.)
Change your travel dates starting at just $35. Airlines charge A LOT more (like $100s). This will come in really handy when you discover a city you really love and want to stay a little longer.
