Background: I started my first big startup in college, studied abroad+traveled, and also took summer classes in my 4 year college career.
My #1 recommendation: Build something lots of people can use. You need a portfolio of things you've built outside of school/work.
You can do this while you intern somewhere, go abroad, or take extra classes in school (meh).
My personal preference would be to go abroad to a country where your own currency goes very very far, so you can live/travel cheaply and also hack while you are at it.
