Hi Laclous, depends on how much you can save and when you want to go?, also how much time you will have to travel, Canada is a big country and the are a few airlines now that travel to Canada and are quite reasonably priced such as zoom and i think zoom fly from Glasgow but that is all down to where you are in Scotland aswell. as the UK is a hub for international flights out of Europe it does mean that it is cheaper in the UK for flights than the US or other parts of the world so thats a bonus already. Hati and Papua Guinea are not so easy as if you where to get a round the world ticket then most alliances do not cover these country's and if you get single tickets its not cheap to get from Oz or NZ to Hati or Papua New Guinea.
Also flying from South America is normally done out of Santiago in Chile and the are only a couple of airlines that fly from santiago over the pacific and the airline i will be using Lan Chile only fly to either Oz or Nz and i do not thing they do stop overs at Hati or Papua New Guinea, so really you would have to go to Oz or Nz. Someone on here may correct me cause im no expert im just using my own knowledge.
South America is not all that cheap to get to and internal flights are not either so certainly a round the world ticket would get you there and get you internal flights cheaper than i have seen on an individual basis. Certainly all these places are do able on single tickets but its down to cash really and how much you have or can save.
Getting around in Canada the best bet would be to buy a discovery pass and use the Canadian Greyhound, South America its down to time and where you are going, but most country's have fairly cheap bus systems and i here that in Argentinian the buses are luxurious.
Accommodation i would suggest using Hostels great way to meet people and normally cheap as chips.Other ways are using websites such as hospitality club or couchsurfing and basically staying at a locals house or mixing the two to meet locals and backpackers. The are various hostel sites such as hotelworld and so many i think other bloggers on her could give you a list aslong as your arm. if your a student then you could get an international student card which save you money on hostels and other stuff globally and you could try going to STA to look further in the trip.
For my impending global trip i used Trailfinders who were brillant, but the are other agencys out there so shop around and do some research, from what you have said your at the early planning stage and this is great, its means lots of great ideas, daydreaming etc, making lists and its all part of the adventure😊
Essentials would be passport, a willingness to embrace new cultures and leave your comfort zone, money always helps....lol, certainly a backpack, do not take one of those wheelie suitcases unless you plan to live it up in high luxury, otherwise a good sturdy rucksack will be your friend and home on the road.
Thx Mike😊
