Traveling The World

[jcb33]

Well the "5 Year Plan" post has kind of made me start thinking about traveling again.... I had pushed it out of my mind untill after uni, but now i want to start planning for it again Still wont be going untill after uni, but if i dont get into uni i will go within a year me thinks.

I was just wondering has anyone here taken a "Gap Year"? I want to travel around Europe, as well as seeing Egypt, Australia, Newzeland and Sri Lanka.

I was wondering how much time is a good amount of time to spend in each country?, What are the best things to do in each country? How much cash will i need to go traveling for a year? Staying in hostels, camp sites etc.

Also what would i need to take with me?

And finaly, if i was to go traveling for a few years, how easy is it to work your way around the world? IE going to one country, getting jobs as you go around say a week here, a month there etc to keep the money flowing as you go.....

Thanky

That's quite a good forum to ask a few of your questions on

I'm planning on a 3 month trip at the end of next year (well, if i can get a job soon!). It will probably be around Aus/NZ and other places in that part of the world, and i'm estimating costs of approaching £5k (hence the needing to work a year before going!).

I've discounted the European travel for now, as it's something i can easily do at any point in my life, whereas travelling further afield for long periods isn't so easy once you're more settled and have major financial commitments.

Yes, thats why im planning on doing it before i get into life, IE before i get married, get a house etc.... If i do that then i will never go
