How many of you pay your own bills aside from travel? It is a lot easier to even pay for your own travel expenses when your parents are busy paying for school, living, eating, whatever.
Also some of you that are in grad school like RUgreek had the luxury of taking large blocs of time off to travel. I wanted to enter a certain field that wouldn't allow me time off. I get my 10 days a year and make due with them, but I won't be able to backpack for a while anyway.

Any trip I have taken after high school I have paid for myself. I also pay my own bills. Normally my friends and I will start planning something a yr in advance (ie we're going to Oktoberfest this year and we started planning in Aug 2004). That way we all have time to start saving up.
I definitely agree being in school gives you the opportunity to travel more, which is why my upcoming trip to Germany will probably the last big trip I will take for awhile since on my return my internship will have ended and I will be working full time.
