1. Many Universities have departments for this kind of student travel.

They have lots of good advice and little concern about what school you attend.

Traveling friends can be found while on the road, in Youth Hostels / alternative hostels, and even in the airport looking for ways into the city. That can depend on who and how one is - what can I say - there are some people I would advise to go alone and others I would not. I, happening to be a guy, traveled alone decades ago and met many refined women traveling alone. We all created and enjoined groups and had memorable times.

It's wonderful to travel. I hope your daughter can go. It's good for our world that she does. Moreso, I hope she enjoys whatever she does in life as I imagine you do to.
