STA Travel is offering their travel internship again this year. If you’re 18-26 and want to spend this summer traveling on someone else’s dime submit your video. I’m guessing big personalities win extra points, details here (warning, video). Good luck!

aw…why does the age have to be 18-26. What about us old fogies that are 29!! hmm.
how are you doing megan? How is Chicago?
I know! I’m way too old. Well, a few years anyway. I guess by now I’m more of a travel expert than a travel intern anyway. STA is mostly for students but they offer discounts to anyone under 26 too so that’s the reason for the ago requirement.
I’m doing okay, but man Chicago is cold! I have a whole list of posts I have planned to write about me and my adjustments back to the non-traveling life but I just haven’t written them yet. I think the notes I kept for the first 3 months back might be amusing too… all of the stuff I noticed that was different.
Ew, don’t promote STA…they are AWFUL. I worked for them a few years back and it was the most unorganized, unprofessional and awful company I have ever worked for. I wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy. Yuck.
I’m sure every company like STA has good and bad offices and good and bad agents. I’ve used them since 1997 and not had many problems. If you do your own research beforehand I think they’re just fine.
In fact, when I was booking a flight home from Kenya the local STA made me go through an English STA office to book the London> Chicago leg. When my phone card started to run out they took my number and rang me back in Kenya and I didn’t have any problem paying with a US credit card (to the London office from Africa) or getting my frequent flyer points sorted out.
There are some great RTW agents in the US that are not STA (mostly on the West coast) but they’ve never worked out for me. I think people who go in and want STA to plan their trips might be disappointed but I think that its ridiculous to ask a stranger to tell you where to go on a RTW anyway.
