Aye, I'm living in the UK (london).
@scottandanny - Yeah i'm not earning mega-bucks. I work an office job fulltime which gives me a decent income and have recently started working part time in a pub as well to increase my saving capabilities (and i figure knowing my way round a bar will help if i need to get work abroad). I cannot physicaly keep going for my 2 years saving time without atleast the odd holiday in between, as my feet are too itchy as it is!
I have been to egypt before and stayed in different places along the nile, seen the temples, pyramids etc.. And the only down side seemed to be the amount of hassle you get from beggers and street sellers. I figure other northern african countries will be fairly similar? I have to say i'm not as attracted to the arab countries as to asia or south america.
And you made me laugh loads with the Camping idea! My friend has been begging me to go camping round the UK with him. I may have to take him up on it (provided we go somewhere i can fish and cook the fish! - i have a strange fascination with being able to catch, kill and prepare food - thus would love fishing or hunting - unfortunatly the UK isn't the best place for hunting, maybe fishing though).
@Mell - I wouldn't say any particular continent calls out to me - just that i'd rather avoid the middle east and predominantly arab countries (atleast until i have done a bit more traveling on my own). Kyrgystan is a country i have looked at and is on my list for my round the world trip. i may have to have a look at flight costs.
As far as india goes i am very intrigued. I would love to go and experieince the culture. But i wondered if a short break of a couple of weeks would be long enough to take it in properly? I had always assumed it's the sort of place you go and stay for a month or two?
Eastern Europe i think would be fun. I have a friend who lives in lithuania so i could stay with him if i went there for a while, could maybe then train down to poland?
I am very flexible with my travel plans. I don't care what time of year i go away and so can try and book holidays whenever they are cheapest.
How about Vietnam or Thailand, or even Cambodia? Are they worth going to for a short period of time? I have heard hotels etc are cheap in SE asia so could maybe not eat into my savings much by heading that way?
Also, any ideas for short weekend breaks? So far Las Vegas is the only one i've got in mind, but it's fairly expensive to do. Any cities which are known to be good for weekend breaks?
Anymore commetns etc are very much appreciated 😊
Cheers for the help so far!
Callum
