In an article entitled “10 Graduation Trips That’ll Teach You More Than School Ever Could”, Huffington Post journalist Nikki Gill provides some interesting and original ideas to highschool graduates regarding their long-awaited graduation trip.

As the journalist stresses, many graduates experience anxiety as they finish school and they are faced with the unfriendly task of finding a job and becoming self-sufficient adults. Suddenly this whole graduating thing doesn’t seem so exciting!

The most usual way to cope with this anxiety is to do what so many have done before them – plan a graduation trip to reward themselves for their academic success and prolong their entrance into the “real world”.

For American and Canadian graduates, the graduation trip has taken many forms from seven-day beach vacations of margaritas, naps on the beach and little else in Cuba or Cancun, to weekend trips full of gambling, nightclubs and intoxication in Las Vegas.

However, the journalist asks, “why not choose a destination with a little more to offer, something that pays tribute to all those years of textbook readings and class presentations?”

Here’s 10 destinations for an ideal grad trip that will show the young people what those textbooks were talking about. Whether it’s World War II history or ruins of ancient civilizations, they can travel to where it all really happened and learn a whole lot more than those textbooks could ever teach them.
