		<description>Thanks for the travel tips.  A friend of mine keeps talking about hostels which are free places to stay all over the world.  Do you know anything about them?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m probably showing my age, but...  Years ago people moving from one city or state to another often turned over their car to a &quot;driver&quot; who got a free trip, albeit one-way, whilst the car owner got their second or third car moved for free.  Maybe this is still done?</description>

		<description>I am definitely guilty of overly optimist travel plans, which is really ironic because I tend to be a bit of a pessimist in every other department of life, but how can we (college students) not get swept away by idealist travel plans when books such as, On the Road and Into the Wild are put in front of our faces. In addition, our elders preach that we have no obligations of family or jobs and state that we are insane not to be traveling to distant shores, backpacking through Europe, and driving across the country. Furthermore, universities project study abroad programs as being accessible to anyone with an inclination to travel. I believe it is this combination of factors that has allowed me and my friends to become notorious for over zealous travel plans. 

Perhaps rather than give into the temptations of unrealistic travel, we should learn how to take a more sensible approach. As mentioned before, Couch surfing is one option, but not practical for everyone, due to the implications that come from spending nights at the home of a stranger. However, there is an alternative suggestion, as college students, it is more than likely that we have become friends with individuals from states other than our own, so perhaps we should take advantage of this opportunity for travel and plan trips to visit multiple friends in multiple locations. Hopefully, this could satisfy ones need for adventure and spontaneity.</description>
