Hey guys.
I am planning to do a trip around the world in maybe 10-12 years from now but I am deciding to get some basic plans now. So if any of you guys have any tips of stuff feel free to post them.
Here is my current little plan thing.
1.Start in Toronto ontario
2.Either Head west towards british columbia or head southwest towards New york city.
3.From new york city/British columbia head south stopping at any detours along the way EG LA,whatever
4. Go to mexico.
5. Have a short stay in Mexico City
6. Head towards panama to see the panama canal.
And I dont know what to do from there. Maybe go to brazil, then hop a plane to europe or africa.
Yes I know this will be diffucult, and Yes I know it will need quite a decent amount of money to pay for it. Infact, if anyone has any good estimates on a cost for a trip around the world, mind posting them? I would guess if I budget well I can do it with about 35 grand or so to cover the plane ticket to europe, food, transport, etc etc.
So yeah, if you guys have any suggestions could you please post them?
Also if anyone would like to donate because hell I like free money and my current savings are like 550 dollars towards this :V. If you want to donate use paypal to : [email]kejting@gmail.com[/email]
Also if facepunch still exists when I get around to doing this I will post my travel log I make after the trip.
Thanks to you if you donate, or if you dont thanks for reading anyway!
5.1 Eat tortillas!
You mean a trip through the Americas?
Nawh, I plan on hopping a plane or something to Europe or Africa and continue from there. But most of my knowledge is relating to North america and central america so I dont really know where I should go in europe. And I do want this to go around the world and prolly end up in Australia or whatever where I can hop a plane home, hell if I can get a job I might even just end up living there but I dont know. Life is a journey right!
If you're going to latin america, you should go for the gringo treatment, and visit macchu picchu n stuff like that
also bring a camera
Mexico won't be here 10 years from now
on your stop to toronto, go to chinatown
it's one of the best places to be, the cn tower is too crowded with tourists
Ahaha I live like 35 minutes away from toronto dude, Ive seen it all. Never been to the CN tower though. Seems so gimmicky.
I'll join you let's start from Bathurst Station.
I'll bring this:

I came in expecting you to go on an actual acid trip and continue taking acid all around the world.
Get giant cannon, put on mountain, shoot self around world.

Uh, I seriously doubt that would end well. Would get trapped in africa or some shit.

You can buy a garbage bag full of weed over in Mexico for like $5-$10. Smoke it all for the both of us

The really fun places are marked many times and when you're done you can chill in Baja :downs:
Well, that seems like it is an OK route with some pretty cool stuff but it completely skips europe and shit. You have to remember I am planning to dedicate 3-4 years to this if necessary so skipping a whole entire continent seems a bit ineffective.

Bring a camera, film everything you do and make a movie.
The only problem is, what if it gets stolen? I do plan on going to africa and if I go around with a fucking video camera I will get mugged.

Naw dude if you set up like a big ass camera like you're filming you'll be fine. Also lrn2wpn.
But in all seriousness, my girlfriends grandpa visited Africa and said it was real shit. Nothing good. Maybe skip it? It seems shady.

Make friends from other country's that know where to go. Go with someone you trust (carry a weapon if you must). I'm sure if you go to a different country blind you may get rob, lost, or killed. 10-12 years you have enough time to make friends. Learn a little of the languages to get you by.
Well, I kinda want to see the nile so maybe I could skip most of africa and just go straight to egypt?
That would be good, that way you don't have to travel too far into southern Africa. Plus, the travel fees get expensive after a bit because you have to rent a private plane or something to get there.
Go to Zimbabwe, become trillionaire.
Well my plan is to only take 2-3 plane trips one from south america to wherever another from like china or some shit to australia, and possibly a third if I dont want to live in australia or wherever I end up.
How long do you plan to stay in each country?
