So, I was sitting here, and I thought
why not share my research with everybody? After all, many of you might be curious about this kind of travel for yourself.
Well, thanks to numerous blogs, chat-rooms, and travel
sites, I have compiled a list of relevant postings. Some are helpful, some are
just funny (to laugh with, or even at).
Some aren't asking the same question they're answering. But all have some form of information.
All links are in the form of the question they address.
The first set is from the RTW (Round-The-World) section of the Thorn Tree
(Lonely Planet) site:
Do RTW tickets only last 1 year?
RTW travel plans (example 1)
RTW travel plans (example 2):
One-way tickets, or RTW ticket?
RTW travel plans (example 3)
Why would a Westerner ever
leave their "American paradise" just to travel?
Some must-see places for white
sand, snorkeling and cultural experiences all on a low budget?
Why aren't there any black
backpackers?
RTW travel panic (example 1)
How do I join a crew on a ship?
Body language is not
universal RTW travel plans
(example 4) Last minute panic? -Calm
down. It's Normal. Are Chaco
sandals really worth the $80-100 price? Can
I charge my camera's batteries in the third-world? A
truly American account
of a power-trip through Iceland (-stay in Beverley Hills, girls) A horrendously cynical account
of the Americans' trip to Copenhagen (deep in the throws of culture-shock) Looking
for a way to batch those digital pictures without access to a computer? How
should a traveler dress? Should I
mail film back? Is it possible to
get free upgrades on flights? Is
there a way to get free accommodations around the world? RTW
by hitch-hiking for 5 years How do I
deal with homesickness? How
do other RTW travelers afford it? RTW
travel plans (example 5) How much
will a RTW cost? How
much time should be spent in each country? What
form of funds should I bring? How
do I stay patient at this bloody job for the next 12 months when I know a RTW
awaits? A very interesting, very
graphic explanation of toilets in India (not for the faint-of-heart
Westerner)
The next set is from other sites I've found:
When are the Eastern European countries joining the EU (and which ones)?
