School's out, and if you want a travel break, check out the website of the nonprofit International Student Travel Confederation, www.istc.org.

What's hot: It has a worldwide calendar of events so you know when the Arctic Monkeys are playing and where (July 9 in Berlin). If you buy an International Student Identity Card ($22) through affiliated travel agencies such as STA, www.statravel.com, you'll get discounts on airfares, hostel stays, museum admissions and more.

What's not: The site could use more transportation info.
