Some students lie on the beach and bronze their bodies in between semesters. You're cut from a different cloth. For you, a break from school heralds the call of the wild: Europe by rail. With your Eurail pass, backpack, and enthusiasm in tow, you're ready to soak up the sun of another country--or 10 or 12.

Another cool aspect of the Eurail pass is, it extends the definition of "student" well beyond that of conventional school systems. Eurail says you're good to go as a student traveler up through age 26. This is one example of what Eurail passes can do for you. Keep you feeling younger, and traveling Europe on the cheap, longer.

Term Break Abroad
There are many options within the student travel designation. You can visit all 17 countries on the Eurail network, or choose just the five most popular countries covered by the Europass. It's all enriching--and all so affordable.

So savor your student traveler status as long as you can. And trek Europe by train while the trekkin' is good. After all, it sure beats using your thumb. The last thing you want to worry about while on vacation is how to get from one place to another. With the right rail pass you can save all of your musings for the sights at hand.
