Rebecca Logie's father has paid tribute to her after she died in a bus crash in Ecuador.
Robin Logie said: "Becci was the kind of girl who lived life to the full and wouldn't let her fears get in the way of doing anything.
"She was the kind of person that people took to instantly, even as a baby people would look at her and smile."
Mr Logie added: "Becci went on the trip not knowing anyone but that is something she has always done.
"She used to go on camping trips, firstly as a child, and then helping out and she would often chose certain camps because she knew there was no-one there who she knew and it would be a chance to meet new people.
"She just really loved meeting new people.
A friend of Rebecca Logie has created a "Becci Logie RIP" group on Facebook, for friends and family to pay tribute to her.
Her sister, Emily Logie, wrote on Rebecca's page: "I want to thank everyone for their comments and want to keep everyone posted on the funeral date."
She added: "The family really want a huge celebration so it would mean a lot to us to see you all there."
Laura Brocklehurst, of the University of Cumbria, wrote: "Becci, you will be missed dearly by everyone who was blessed by your presence.
"You were a beautiful and graceful person both in your dancing and in life, always being able to put a smile on the faces around you."
Amy Shaw, from Manchester, wrote: "I can't believe this.
"Becci was far too special to have her life cut short."
Her friend from college, Gina, wrote: "I remember our meal, just the two of us, the night before A-level results.
"I was praying to get A's, and you? haha, you were so relaxed that night that you had two desserts!
"We spent all night talking about our lives after college, you dreamed of a fabulous gap year, and a wardrobe full of Armani and Kurt Geiger, whilst I looked forward to living in London, waiting for you.
"Looking back I don't think I told you how much you meant to me, how much I genuinely couldn't wait for you to join me the following year. I wish I had.
"I wish alot of things now - I wish I knew where you were to put my mind at rest, I wish I could laugh with you just one more time."
Rachael Haddon, of Chorley, wrote: "It is hard to find the words. I have been in such shock since I heard. Although I rarely saw you nowadays, I will miss you greatly.
"We last spoke on Easter Sunday. You told me about your trip, I wished you all the best. I can't believe it has turned out like this.
"Rest in peace Becci. May God keep you safe in his kingdom. Thoughts and prayers for your mum, dad and sister, Emily. Love always."
In a statement, Winstanley College principal Steve Wood, said: "Becci was much loved by both staff and students.
"An extremely able academic who never achieved less than a grade A in either her GCSEs or A levels, she made an outstanding contribution to the life of the college.
"She took part in many college productions and was the driving force behind Winstanley TV, being solely responsible for the production of the weekly "60" news programme.
"Her calm intelligence informed her work and her relationships with friends and teachers and she will be sadly missed by the college community.
"Our thoughts are with Becci's family at this very difficult time."
Martin Hurst, media technician at the college, added: "Becci was one of Winstanley TV's founding students.
"Although she never minded being in front of the camera, she preferred to do things behind the scenes, the technical stuff.
"She had a very active mind and was never afraid to get her hands dirty.
"It is such a tragic loss."
