From November 2011 until September 2012 I travelled around the world…this was the itinerary:
6 weeks in SE Asia – Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia
2 and half months in Australia – Melbourne, Sydney, Bryon Bay, Gold Coast, Brisbane,, Fraser Island, Whitsundays, Townsville, Magnetic Island & Cairns
5 weeks in New Zealand – Rented a campervan and drove from Auckland to Christchurch and everywhere else in between
2 weeks in Fiji – FeeJee Experience around the main land and then a bit of island hopping
Finally 1 month in the USA, travelling from West to East Coast and back to Camp Sloane for the summer.
So as the title of this post suggests, it is now only two weeks until I depart for my epic RTW adventure. Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday that I was on the phone to Chris (from STA Travel and BackpackerBanter) booking all my flights…and that was in April, a whole … More Two Weeks and Counting…
The big trip is getting ever closer, and my to-do list just keeps getting longer. It is now exactly one month until I fly away to Bangkok and I really couldn’t be more excited. However, it seems like my list of things I have to do before I go just keeps growing…every time I tick … More Travel To-Do’s
So the big trip is approaching…it’s only 5 weeks and 4 days until I fly away to the wonderful world of hostels, beaches, temples and, of course, other travellers. Everything is booked (minus my travel insurance), many things are planned (but not all…there’s got to be some spontaneity!), I’ve been injected in the arm with … More The Money Worry
I’ve just spent all day combing through guide books and planned tour itineraries to come up with my own special plan for the 6-week jaunt around South East Asia I’m going on with my two friends Maritza and Rosa (yes, I recruited them from camp) come November, meaning I am no longer going on the … More SE Asia Itinerary
Now that summer is over (boohoo) and I’m back in the UK after my great American adventure, I’ve suddenly realised how soon it actually is that I’m leaving again for the next big trip…yes that’s right, I’m off in a matter of weeks (7 to be precise), and I’m going Around The World! Plans have … More Where To Next?
With only 1 week until camp ends and we leave this place we’ve come to call home for the last few months, there’s quite a lot of madness in the air. Everyone is excitable and hyper, but also a little bit sad that it’s all coming to an end. A few people have left already, … More Coming To An End…
Eeeeek, I’ve just booked a 20-day tour in SE Asia…in the end I went for the ‘Roam Cambodia & Vietnam’ one, from STA Travel and Gap Adventures, and I definitely think it was the right choice…it’s going to be amazing, and I cannot wait! Check out the itinerary here and see what I’ll be getting … More Cambodia & Vietnam, Here I Come!
I need to get on with booking the next part of my RTW trip – the bit when I first arrive in SE Asia, as I’m going by myself and really want to have something sorted for when I arrive. For ages I’ve been thinking I’m going to do one of the STA/Gap Adventure tours, … More To Tour or Volunteer? That Is The Question.
Eeeeeeek! I’ve just got off the phone with Chris at STA, and I am so excited to announce that my RTW trip is all booked! Well, my flights are booked at least. I’m still a bit undecided about what I’m doing once I get to SE Asia, but I’m got a bit of time to … More All Booked!
My travel plans are finally starting to come together. I’ve been emailing Chris (of Backpacker Banter and STA Travel) back and forth over the last week, getting all my dates and plans sorted, trying to decide what to do and where to go. He’s been fantastic, getting me the cheapest deals and giving me some … More Booking and Backpacking
