Welcome to travelblog 😊

But OW! - txt msg style forum posts 😉 Hope I can decipher it properly.

You're travelling from this May till next May? or only in May 2005?

Insurance is easy - World Nomad - best in the business. (and possibly the cheapest)

So how long have you got?

Have you worked out a budget? you've picked some expensive places!

But with a round the world ticket you can visit the cheap areas for a long time and still make a flying visit to the most expensive cities on the planet 😊 Reply to this

Hi again, there is some really good advice in the travelling for one year forum post.

There are dangers when travelling; the biggest one is blowing your budget and having to go home early 😉

Don't worry about going by yourself - you will make friends very easily in the hostels. Do take care of your belongings and watch out for street scams... I think I'll start a seperate thread on that to list some. I'll post again here;

£900 is a good deal on an RTW. But you have a lot of time before going to look around for more quotes.

How much do you think you'll have saved - this is the thing that I'd worry about looking at your plan - your going to some very expensive places - do you plan on working in Australia?

Consider a stop in south east asia - Bangkok - and travel around the region for some time, it is much cheaper to travel there than any of the places you have planned else where. Personally - I like not to worry about the money when I'm travelling - for me that mean very quick visits to expensive cities and long drawn out relaxing visits to cheaper places. Reply to this

hi,

I am Ryan from philippines, if you want to travel here i think my place is cheap, i work as a freelace tour guide for almost 4 years, some of my clients are australian i treat people as my brother and sister, you can rent a room in my place so that you are secured, i open an idea about the new things in backpacking here in philippines which is you are not staying in hotel but in a family house just to know and understand the culture of Filipino people. i work on this thing for a reason that i like to travel and also to give my quality service to the people who want to know what is philippines! and also to your safetyness i will not bring you to the place which is restricted to travel on!!!!
