How to Travel Around the World
Claudia Gold

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Prereq: none
Ever wanted to backpack or live abroad for an extended period of time but don't know how to make it happen? In this class, we'll discuss everything you need to know to start to plan a long trip to a faraway land. First, we will focus on where to go, what some different parts of the world are like, and what it's like to be far from home for months at a time. Next, we'll talk about logistics: finding cheap and local places to stay and eat, supporting yourself financially while you travel, getting around, choosing guidebooks, dealing with foreign currency, earning frequent flier miles, using phones and the internet abroad, staying healthy, and more. Finally, we will consider the impact of traveling, such as what tourism does to local economies and how we can have a positive impact as travelers. Optional: Bring your favorite photo or story from your own trips to share.
Claudia Gold is an MIT alum (class of 2007) and former ESGer. Shortly after graduation, she spent a year traveling to twenty-three countries around Europe and Asia, renting apartments for a month at a time. She is excited to share what she learned!
