wanderlusty brainstorming during class

studentuniverse.com - super cheap flights for students and teachers!
ex: austin-dublin (one way) $543

jobsabroad.com - finds available job opportunities/listings in virtually every country.  totally comprehensive.  ranges from unskilled labor-TEFL-resumes/college degree specializations. also searches everything from internships, volunteer opportunities, hostels, and universities to phone cards, scholarships, and student ID discounts. awesome.

http://www.iagora.com/ - like monster.com, but global. woohoo!
