10 Graduation Gift Ideas for the Travelling College Graduate
1. Plane Ticket – A plane ticket is a great gift idea as it is the first, and most important, aspect of travelling as obviously you have to get there. A round trip ticket to Europe is a great way to reward the recent college graduate who would like to see other parts of the world. In choosing a ticket for Europe the best deals can be had flying into London, Amsterdam, and Paris.
2. Euro rail pass – While travelling in Europe it is not cheap to get around but, especially for students, Euro rail passes is the quickest and least expensive way to see Europe. There are different options as individual countries or certain amount of days can be purchased.
3. Backpack – The traveller will need a backpack to carry around their gear and the sturdier and compact the better for all the travelling they will do. There are many packs that are geared just for these trips as well with many pockets and straps to make the pack more compact.
4. Money belt – While travelling the graduate will have to carry important things which are important to keep safe such as a passport, money, and return plane ticket. A money belt or strap is a great way to keep these important items safe.
5. Water bottle – A water bottle is a great gift for travelling for when the traveller gets thirsty and is stranded waiting for a train. It can also be used to put juice and anything else the traveller needs.
6. Day pack – Many times the large backpack is too cumbersome to carry around and can be left at the hostel or hotel. A daypack is perfect for carrying around essential items such as a water bottle, maps, camera, and food without having the burden of the large pack.
7. Rain Jacket – A rain jacket can be useful obviously when the weather is not the best. The more compact the better to save space and weight and many are geared just for these reasons.
8. Personal Stereo – An I-pod or Walkman is a great gift for all the down time the traveller has and for those long train rides.
9. Travel Journal – A travel journal is a great gift for the graduate to write down their experiences while travelling around. They will never forget the experience but by writing things down in a journal they will remember the little things as well as the big.
10. Camera – A camera is great for the travelling graduate to capture the memories of their excursion and a great way of letting others experience it when they return home.
