"Get the ISIC. Your student ID from a University in the US could be worthless over there, they don't know if it is authentic or not. Think of the ISIC as an internationally recognized version of your student ID. I find it interesting that a study abroad program would not give you an idea, but either way I get the ISIC."
"This app and student card have been very helpful to get tickets, hotel and transportation discounts all over Europe."

OUR STORY
✨⭐✨
Exploring new horizons!
HEY THERE, I AM DOMINIKA!
Ever felt lost while planning trips? Confused by endless options? Unsure if you're getting ripped off? Or just lonely figuring it all out?
I didn't just grow up traveling — I grew up learning how to live anywhere. From exploring Australia at 15 to studying in the U.S. and Norway, travel became part of who I am.
"I've now visited more than 30 countries — from Iceland to India, South Africa to Sri Lanka."
But I never traveled just for the photos. I traveled to learn how to live smarter, discover new perspectives, and find the authentic moments most tourists miss. And now, I pass that knowledge on to you.
Most students don't need more travel blogs. They need a friend who gets it.
HOW STB STARTED
THE PROBLEM
Students were wasting money on overpriced tourist traps and missing out on authentic experiences
THE SOLUTION
Create a community of student travelers sharing insider tips and exclusive discounts
THE RESULT
Students saving an average of $200/week while having better experiences!
Student Travel Buddy was created in 2025 when we realized students were missing out on the best parts of travel because they didn't have access to insider knowledge. Now we're a community helping each other explore the world on a student budget.
Sunny was born!
CORE TRAITS OF SUNNY - OUR AVATAR - YOUR TRAVEL BUDDY
It's not just someone to split a hostel with — it's a whole vibe
Spontaneous but Smart
- Knows how to find last-minute flights and hidden gems.
- Can vibe with going off-plan — but still has a backup.
"Let's ditch the tourist trap and go where locals hang. But like... also not miss our train."
Plugged In
- Shares TikToks, uses Google Maps hacks, and always has the Wi-Fi password.
- Helps document the trip in an aesthetic way.
"Let's make a Reel AND a memory."
Respectful + Socially Aware
- Doesn't treat cultures like props.
- Understands climate impact, local customs, and supports ethical travel.
"Let's stay somewhere cute and eco-conscious."
Emotionally Supportive
- The buddy who says, "Let's take a break," or "You're good — we're in this together."
- Down to party but also down to sit under a tree and just talk life.
"Just breathe. We'll figure this out together."
Budget-Savvy, Deal Hunter
- Knows where the student discounts are.
- Finds Airbnb codes, rail passes, cheap eats.
"We'll splurge once, but we'll eat amazing food always."
Aesthetic-Aware
- Down for golden hour photos. Doesn't take 100 selfies, just gets the shot.
- Loves a good sunset picnic or rooftop café.
"This lighting is perfect — one pic and then let's just enjoy this moment."
"Let's go. You pack the snacks, I'll plan the vibe."
