international rescue - the ISIC card

What If I told you there was a single card that you could carry that would instantly get you $15 off at The Hard Rock Cafe, a ten dollar admission into the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and 11% off at Macy's? What if I told you you could get this card for as low as $22? To makes things even sweeter you can now use the card at home, while traveling abroad, even online.

Well, there is such a card, the International Student Identity Card or ISIC. Carry the only internationally recognized and accepted student ID card. In addition to the deals mentioned above, the ISIC comes with thousands more discounts at top retail stores and websites and travel insurance to cover you while you're away. This thing will pay for itself within an afternoon if you travel like we do, fast and frugally.

There is a version for Youth, for Students and now for Teachers (Full-time teachers and faculty teaching for the academic year at an accredited institution with a minimum 18 hours per week and at least one of one year employment to qualifies) so just about everyone can find a card that will work for them. The cost of foreign currency has gone down a bit when compared to the dollar and flying remains relatively cheap if you can pack lightly and be flexible about dates and times. With the Open Skies legislation finally working its way across the globe, there really hasn't been a better time to travel. Why not do it soon while you are young and able, there are a million reasons to travel and expand your mind, why not save some money and stay longer with this card?
