im about to try this next yr 08/08
my dream is to return home(malaysia) by land fr. england.

but im questioning myself... doing it alone.....? ? ? is this courage/stupidity ? ? ?
i feel....in life u rarely get 2nd chance to chase after ur dream.

should i stick to europe only?
should i stick to europe & mid. east?
should i go for glory? europe, mid east, asia

my target for this travel is 3month...

has someone ever attempt something similar like this?
please, im welcome to any ideas....

Hi Mole to be honest i think that would be too much, you have to consider the factors of money and time, it normally comes down to not enough time or not enough money, but sometimes the is lack of time and money which crushes the traveling spirit somewhat. Going alone is not a bigg issue alot of people do it and post there blogs on this very site so that is proof enough me thinks:)

Europe will be quite expensive so it depends on your budget, although cheap airlines and a eurorail pass can cut some costs down, although general cost of living and accommodation will be a killer. middle east could be quite a different and an exciting adventure although depending on where you go in the middle east depends on the comparison of costs compared to europe.

Perhaps trying eastern europe as appose to western as some parts are a fair bit cheaper than western europe and no offence to anyone in western europe as im from there myself, but i find people in eastern europe are so more welcoming and feed you and give you a bed in their own home even though possibly earn less than you earn in a month over 3 or 6 months.

Asia is deffinetly somewhere where you could visit your neighboring country's and discover there cultural and the economics work out well.

Its your choice Mole, but just trying to offer some advice:)

Thx Mike:)

thanks mikey.

i've read some articles there are some problem crossing the india-burma boarder.
the plan goes into the bin!

however the other route i've discovered is through eastern europe-russia-china-vietnam-msia....wahhaha
but it will be too demanding & complicated.

i wish visa were simple to do on the boarder sort of thing like in the "long way down documentary"

hm...im currently readjusting the tour.
ill just stick to around europe move my way towards midd. east if time n money is still available.

ill keep on DREAMING....wahhahah

Hi Mole the only thing i would note is the Russian visa is not very cheap and not all that easy to get, you need things such as a letter of invitation etc.

But perhaps if you can research it from your end, im purely speaking from a western European point of view.

Thx Mike:)
