I wanna go somewhere sometime soon,but I don't want to end up with a bunch of retired old people.
Recommend a tour/country/place/etc.,where young people go.
ex. I know Some tour companies offer Europe tours. I know a lot of college guys/girls do those kind of tours.

Anything else.

Something like Contiki Tours sounds up your alley. It's aimed towards the young backpacker/hostel crowd. The bus takes you from city to city, spending about 1-2 days in each, seeing the major sights but it's mostly just something to pass the time recovering from your hangover as the majority of people on these tours go on them to live it up in the pubs, clubs, and bars of Europe every night with their peers.

By the end of the tour, it's just one drunken and drug-induced blur. :D

Lol,I've heard that before,a while back. I thought that girl was just making it up.
Well,I don't want to be drunk every day,but it all does sounds like fun.

You're young.... you're going to have much more out of the trip by skipping the organized tour and going independently.

If I wanted to drink myself to a hangover, I'd do it here.... without spending thousands of dollars.

I agree, a Fodor's or Rick Steve's book ( and any hostel books as well) and just make your own adventure. Pick and choose what you want to see and stay for as long in any one place as you want.

Well guys,I like crowd and meeting new people and I am not a lone wolf. I can't see myself exploring by myself. Not fun.

I've done most of my travel by myself, and I can tell you that those were some of the best trips I've done. You are free to do whatever you want, spend as much/little as you want, and not have to check with anyone. You will soon discover that you aren't the only person travelling alone.... you will meet people, especially if you stay in hostels.

Oh well.... to each, their own.

Agreed that if you stay in dorm-type hostels, you are guaranteed to meet other travellers so you don't need to pay extra for the tour package. Remember that everyone there is in the same situation as you -- travellers in a foreign country looking for fun and adventure. With that as your common foundation, it's really easy to make what I call Best Friends For a Day (or Two).

And if you take a 2 week or more bus tour, you'll soon find out that it is not fun constantly riding a bus. Much more pleasant to take a train or plane from place to place.
