It seems like B and I have been talking about doing a trip around the world forever. It's a fun conversation to have - faraway places to visit, friends and family in other countries to reconnect with, events and festivals to attend…one day. Yes, we've had lots of discussions about what we're going to do on our epic journey around the world, but not much talk of how we're going to do it.
That all changed a few short weeks ago and suddenly we're scrambling to purchase tickets and travel insurance, book doctors appointments, get our immunizations up-to-date, clear out our apartment, figure out what we're going to do with our belongings and a thousand other things that need to be crossed off the list before we hit the road at the end of this month. It's happening now, baby!
With advice from friends who've done similar trips and help from our handy Rough Guide, we're sketching out a loose itinerary that we hope will get us around the world on our modest budget within the next 6-8 months. From my experience the last time I undertook a long journey, I know it's very possible we'll throw this itinerary out the window once the trip is underway but, for the moment, it's lending some semblance of structure to the endless possibilities at hand.
Speaking of endless possibilities, if you have any recommendations for places we should visit we'd love to hear them! All suggestions would be most welcome though we're especially interested in hearing about must-do hikes and outdoor adventures. What favourite spots have you visited around the globe?
