THE STUDENT TRAVEL GUIDE
Let’s Go publishes the world’s favorite student travel guides, written entirely by Harvard students. Armed with pens, notebooks, and a few changes of underwear stuffed into their backpacks, our student researchers go across continents, through time zones, and above expectations to seek out invaluable travel experiences for our readers. Because we are a completely student-run company, we have a unique perspective on how students travel, where they want to go, and what they’re looking to do when they get there. If your dream is to grab a machete and forge through the jungles of Costa Rica, we can take you there. If you’d rather bask in the Riviera sun at a beachside cafe, we’ll set you a table. In short, we write for readers who know that there’s more to travel than tour buses. To keep up, visit our website, www.letsgo.com, where you can sign up to blog, post photos from your trips, and connect with the Let’s Go community.
TRAVELING BEYOND TOURISM
We’re on a mission to provide our readers with sharp, fresh coverage packed with socially responsible opportunities to go beyond tourism. Each guide’s Beyond Tourism sections share ideas about responsible travel, study abroad, and how to give back to the places you visit while on the road. To help you gain a deeper connection with the places you travel, our fearless researchers scour the globe to give you the heads-up on both world-renowned and off-the-beaten-track opportunities. We’ve also opened our pages to respected writers and scholars to hear their takes on the countries and regions we cover, and asked travelers who have worked, studied, or volunteered abroad to contribute first-person accounts of their experiences.
FIFTY-FIVE YEARS OF WISDOM
Let’s Go has been on the road for 55 years and counting. We’ve grown a lot since publishing our first 20-page pamphlet to Europe in 1960, but over five decades and 75 titles later, our witty, candid guides are still researched and written entirely by students on shoestring budgets who know that train strikes, stolen luggage, food poisoning, and marriage proposals are all part of a day’s work. Meanwhile, we’re still bringing readers fresh new features, such as a student-life section with advice on how and where to meet students from around the world; a revamped, user-friendly layout for our listings; and greater emphasis on the experiences that make travel abroad a rite of passage for readers of all ages. And, of course, Europe 2015 is still brimming with editorial honesty, a commitment to students, and our irreverent style.
THE LET’S GO COMMUNITY
More than just a travel guide company, Let’s Go is a community that reaches from our headquarters in Cambridge, MA, all across the globe. Our small staff of dedicated student editors, writers, and tech nerds comes together because of our shared passion for travel and our desire to help other travelers get the most out of their experience. We love it when our readers become part of the Let’s Go community as well—when you travel, drop us a postcard (67 Mt. Auburn St., Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), send us an email (feedback@letsgo.com), or sign up on our website (www.letsgo.com) to tell us about your adventures and discoveries.
