  • ez pv how are we on this wonderful evenin?

    right i’m doin a little early research… very soon (depending on whether i stay in college till end of course or not) i plan to go travelling, for a total of 18 months – not all at once of course.

    i plan to do 6 months of travellin in each of:
    south-east asia (thaliand, cambodia, vietnam all i’ve decided so far)
    south america
    africa (charity work)

    latter two i dont know where specifically

    i’m going to take 3 years out for this, the months i’m not travelling i’ll be working for the next trip

    i’d love to hear some reccomendations of places to visit… how to survive, jobs i could get, how not to get fucked over, things that are essential to take etc.

    also how to find out wheres good to stay/eat… cos i’ve already decided fuck the lonely planet guide!!! 😉

    things to bear in mind…
    1. obviously atm i am skint as fuck, but i’m working a lot during the summer. obviously i’ll be going dirt cheap, but some sort of minimum money needed for each trip, and i presume i’d need to work out there? would like to have a bit of money for some luxuries (the odd drink etc.)

    2. i’ll be travelling alone, apart from the africa trip, so i’m unaware what difference this would make

    3. africa trip is charity work, i have a good idea what charity i could go for, thanks to a late night conversation with glo on level 1, but any further tips/recomendations would be grand

    nice one raaa

    Errm… don’t have any specific advice for you mate. But just go for it! You’ll have a fucking great time, don’t let anyone tell you it’s not possible, because it is!

    I’m saving up for a trip ATM, I’ve got a nightshift job which means I’m working all the time and can’t go out much. You might want to try it. 😉

    try stay in youth hostals .. there cheep as chips:wink:

    i can’t type anymore. it does my head in. give me a call and i’ll ramble on about the stich ups i managed to avoid and the mind blowing shit i saw when i worked my way around the world

    just looked like it .. doubt they do use them for people smuggling 😉

    Read books! iv got a great “backpckers bible” its its fairly quick to read and bullet points for the important parts. there are books like “first time around the world” that lonely planets do (fair bit thicker and in dept though!) but its good to do your research, alot of countries have “respectful wishes” like what you where, traditions, religions etc etc, its not so differecult for a guys but for ladies like me its bitch!
    save money!! its really bloody differcult, im doing it at the mo but with rent and parties its easy to get sidetracked. dont let it happen!

    sounds like your going to have a wicked time, just stay focused so u can get the fook outta this country! i cant wait to start my travels next year:) good luck mate.

    have you travelled by your self or with mates before? I have travelled extensively around the world and your money as much as you want it to last might not go the distance… to get a fair idea of how much you need work out where you want to go (obviously) then check out things like hostel costs per night.. Lonely planet online forum can be really good.. lots of people have been there done that, and are answering questions that are frequently asked.

    Generally the most expensive part of your trip will be the plane ticket, transport and where you are sleeping….

    try to make a rough guide to where you are going and we can help you as much as poss.:weee:
