Hey folks! So..I am a first time traveler who has never left the east coast of the US before. I am looking to travel outside of the country - hopefully to Europe (Nov or Dec or Jan PREFER DEC)- if I can find a good enough deal. My questions are as follows: What should I be using for finding a trip deal? (Travel Agent or website) . What sites are safe? I have been seeing a TON of "travel" sites but I cant figure out which are legit vs shadesville . Also I am not sheltered or inept, so traveling alone isn't difficult - I just want to find a good bargain to treat myself for my 30th birthday. I would not like to spend more than $2500 if possible. Can i find deals that include airfare and trip/. Also I am open to any cruises that are available in Europe. Any info is welcome. Extremely welcome. Thanks in advance folks. Additional info if needed - Single male, so my safety isn't too risky aside from getting robbed and or murdered. I would be traveling alone. My interest are classic pieces/structures (parthenon/pantheon/etc..) I am not really a foody at all so I am not interested in looking to try a bunch of foods. I am not high maintenance, so as long as I have a bed that is rodent free/disease free & the occasional shower - I am A OK.
