Piemon Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I took over 12 months out few years ago. best memories of my life. I was in Australia for most of that time. Also had a few weeks in Thailand en route. You wont regret going Travelling E but you may regret squandering the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny G Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I always fancied doing South America, Me and a mate were going to go for 3-4 weeks in 2007, but i ended up getting my Mrs preggers. Far East is superb, Thailand, do the smaller island rather than the sleazy bits, then onto Vietnam, Cambodia etc Finish off in Aus, I prefered Gold Coast as opposed to Sydney and Melbourne etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Best thing you'll ever do. I got a 12 month round the world trip and came back 3 years having only got around about a quarter of it. Turns out it's actually quite large. Only thing I would say is that most of the major routes have been well mapped out now, so if you've any romantic notions of beating a trail, you're going to have to pick somewhere very different. There is very little struggle involved anymore! Can't beat SE Asia in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time is my biggest issue so if I can do a plan that's sound. Garp, World Cup is pretty much nailed on. Only problem is working out how best to do it.

Garp, World Cup is pretty much nailed on. Only problem is working out how best to do it. You could do a whistle stop tour of Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in a month as long as you were up for being on the move all the time. Alternatively, just travel Thailand, couple of days in Bangkok, fly to Chiang Mail, Pai, back to Bangkok, East coast Islands, West coast islands and back to Bangkok, fly home. Easy beans. Have done that trip in 3 weeks in the past when I've just been on holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 My brother and his missus are currently potato farming near Adelaide. They set off round Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam etc then on to Austraila. Spent a few month working in Sydney, now getting in their compulsory agriculture work.

Sweep Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Garp, World Cup is pretty much nailed on. Only problem is working out how best to do it. Quite easy, go on a massive fitness regime between now and say Christmas. Once you're as fit as a flea get a contract with a Premiership club and then whack in 20 goals between January and the end of the season. That way you'll be one of the first picks, especially as we're low on decent strikers. You'll then be there until at least the round of 16, and you can also get Garrp some comps as well. HTH The only issue might be proving English nationality, what with you being a Welshist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
