Take an ‘Express OE’ with help from STA Travel

Lifestyle Tue Aug 12 2014 by Carl Thompson

The idea of an OE, or overseas experience, is great. The reality of taking off for 12 months is something else… In the latest issue of Remix magazine we do our very own ‘Express OE’, exploring Greece, France and the United Kingdom in a quick six week turnaround. We check off Mykonos, Kusadasi, Patmos, Rhodes, Crete, Santorini and Athens in Greece, St Tropez and Paris in France, plus spend some time in London. See some of our pictures in the gallery below and check out the full story in the next print issue of Remix, on sale nationwide from 1^st September. Our advice for any Remixers wanting to take a trip like ours, without the tonne of time off work, is talk to the experts about planning an itinerary. Even though you know what you want to see, you don’t know the best route to take. We sat down with the team from STA Travel, who helped us map out an awesome itinerary and maximise the amount of time we had overseas. Without them, we wouldn’t have seen half the stuff we did in the time we were away.
