1. With your partner read carefully over your Reality of Young People on Adventures and the Requirements for this Project. What will you need to have on your website?

2. Go online and find out what youth hostels are. These are like hotels but cheaper so that young travelers on a budget can afford them. They are more like dormitories for single people. When you check in, you get a bed but all meals are prepared in a main kitchen (since restaurants are expensive) and they all share a big bathroom. For privacy reasons, women have separate dormitories than men but they share all the other amenities. Write a few notes about what they’re like from this site: [] 3. Go to www.lonelyplanet.com and DO YOUR BEST TO IGNORE EVERYTHING THAT IS AN ADVERTISMENT! These can be distracting and very misleading but for budget travelers, this is the best site! On the map on the right, click either South America or Europe and decide the continent you will visit. Circle one of the following: South America or Europe. After you clicked on the map, you must scroll through and click intresting links in the OUR TOP PICKS category on the right. Look through all these sites carefully and decide which four countries will you visit (if Europe). If you go to South America, you are only going to have money and time for two country visits. Which two? 1. 2. 3. 4.

5. Start researching airline tickets for the dates you want to visit. You will need to plug in possible dates, as if you are really going (you just won’t pay for them, of course). If you are going to Europe, your $4,000 starts from a flight from either Newark, NJ or New York, NY. Notes about the airlines you researched and how much it cost ROUND TRIP! 6. Exchange phone numbers and email with your partner so that you can communicate throughout this project. This project is going to be worth about 30 points a day for research and input onto your website. The final project is worth 250 points (A LOT!)
