Anyway for youngish people, at least in my friend circle, is pretty common.
Yesterday I was having dinner with an English friend, two weeks ago I spend a week in Berlin, pretty much every year we have a family trip somewhere in Europe.
Sure, I am young, with a lot of energy and money are not a huge concern right now; but most of my friends are in my same condition.
And actually I am a pretty cheap folk and I don't spend much money...
For me, flying to Florida from Toronto is only $300 - that price is not bad to me but I'm not familiar with Ryanair.
I would be excited on Monday to tell people what I got to see on the weekend, and coworkers would tell me about Barcelona and Greece etc. Just wild. The flight/train prices are so absurdly affordable that it just makes sense, personally and professionally, to travel.
I don't buy the idea that people only travel into Europe because of the EU. Freedom to travel is really freedom to work.
