The most rewarding experience for any college student is the opportunity to study abroad. Plunging head first into another country's culture ignites new senses of wonderment and knowledge. The world appears to be none other than a giant backyard, ready for exploration. Unfortunately the daunting process of planning mini trips can become quite overwhelming. Luckily, salvation is just around the corner for those studying in Europe through a travel company called Bus2Alps.
Award winning Bus2Alps designs incredible trip packages at friendly prices. This company was founded by Simon O'Keefe in mid-February, 2003 when a Florentine transit strike left students stranded and in turmoil. O'Keefe knew these frequent mishaps could put an unexpected damper on travel plans and wanted to create a business insuring this would never occur. Originally, Florence was the initial starting point for Bus2Alps adventures, but with such a high demand from youthful travelers it has spread to 8 different departure cities (including Dublin, Rome, London, and Barcelona) journeying to over 15 destinations!
Travel packages are phenomenally crafted using the best locations, facilities, and prices. Each includes round trip bus transportation, a knowledgeable leader, stellar accommodations, and informational city tours (inclusions vary from package to package). Bus2Alps trip leaders are highly trained professionals with an innate intelligence and dogma of each location. One such guide and also Assistant Operations Manager, Michael LaPorta, truly possess the essence and heart of being a Bus2Alps employee:
"Bus2Alps made my study abroad experience significantly better and now I get to provide the same enjoyment to others. Not many people can say the same about their job."
I myself traveled with Bus2Alps during my study abroad experience and have stood behind it ever since. The trip packed punch and passion, allowing for enriching experiences, new friendships, and fond memories! Here are some upcoming trips Bus2Alps will embark upon this spring:
March 4: Florence to Morocco, 10 days, 799,00
March 18: London to Athens & The Isles, 8 days, 589,00 Euros
