Your little globetrotter may not appreciate this idea for a stocking stuffer at first, but when they’re
far off from home and a little homesick they’ll be glad you got it. The
International Youth Travel Card
(IYTC) is a practical gift to give this holiday season for persons in the 12-25 age group. Good for one year after
the issue date the card not only acts as a snazzy photo I.D. to score discounts at hostels, but it’s also scores them
special youth airfares, basic sickness/accident insurance (when traveling out of the 50 U.S.), and deals on cultural
events as well as restaurants all over. Furthermore it’s the perfect calling card once activated through ISIC. They’ll
find super low cost rates on international calls and domestic calls, free email, and a virtual safe for important docs.
I’ve used these several times and I’ll be purchasing another before heading out in my travels next year and before I
(gasps) fall out of the age range.
Cards can be purchased at STA for $22. Not bad.
