If you’re a lover of live music venues and freedom of expression, you should spend your summer checking out the local festival scene. From Glastonbury Festival in the UK to Benicàssim in Spain, there are so many around the world for you to explore! With the chance to slip into your waviest garms and the opportunity to meet a vibrant array of characters, you’ll enjoy an incredible summer you're unlikely to forget.

There’s nothing wrong with spending your summer alone! You may love the idea of being tucked up in a woodland retreat or scouting out the best coffee shops to hide away from the crowd. Your academic year was full of exam stress and group activities, so take some well-deserved 'me time' so you can come back feeling refreshed.

Check out your local community centre and see what’s going on. You never know, the upcoming voluntary events might just come to surprise you. There’s a strong possibility that you’ll walk away from these events with a new bunch of friends and a huge sense of fulfilment.

During your university year, you may have bottled up your wanderlust and travel desires. If this is the case, why not spend your summer break away from the country you’re currently in? This may be the only chance you get before employment or time constraints begin. Grab that backpack, check out some cheap flights and enjoy!
