this. But while NZ is beautiful (especially south island...fiorland

) australia is an amazing country and I reckon you will enjoy it a lot.

Each evening watch Netflix episodes of "An Idiot Abroad" for perspective, and share the differences with your experience, and Pilkingtons.

Stay safe! Have fun!

That is ridiculously awesome.

I am super jealous, but it's also wonderful to see someone about to live their dream. I hope the trip is as awesome as you hope (and more)!

Just spend all your time in "Southern Europe" in Andalusia. You won't regret it. There's at least two weeks of awesome things to see there.

I already got one round of vaccinations (Hep A + B, typhoid and yellow fever) and all kinds of antibiotics that I'd rather not take

Hope you have a swell time Rumbo and just let me know what address to send this fake goatee and dark brown long-haired wig to so you can set up DT franchises in each stop

I love that show. Pilkington is hilarious

Very exciting, I've been wanting to do something like this for years (and I've been saving too lol)

If you don't mind me asking, where are you going to living during the 6 months when you're not with family and friends? Are you going to be staying in Hostels, hotel rooms?

rumborak · « **Reply #81 on:** June 06, 2011, 08:20:01 AM »

I plan to mostly stay at hostels, with the occasional hotel thrown in (for example when I arrive in Spain, to get my bearings).

What a fantastic idea and like a lot of people have already said, I envy you. I expect lots of pictures and stories posted here!

AndyDT · « **Reply #83 on:** June 15, 2011, 07:48:51 AM »

Are you meeting up with friends or spending all the time alone?

rumborak · « **Reply #84 on:** June 15, 2011, 03:37:56 PM »

I will meet up with friends in my home town, later potentially a Greek friend of mine in Athens, and then another friend in Istanbul. After that I will be on my own (unless another friend decides to join me in China). So, for the most part it's just me. Which I'm actually looking forward to, because I like meeting new people, and the best way to do so is to go alone.

That sounds amazing rumborak! I'm so jealous, I'd love to go travelling like that. Hope you have a fantastic time

Everything is lined up at this point, went down to NYC yesterday to pick up my Chinese visa. W00t! Got 2 more weeks of work, sweet.

So what's the final itinerary looking like? I'd guess it's a bit more refined by now.

I was actually reading another forum today (there are actually non-DTF forums out there--who knew) with a "ask me about living in Thailand" thread. Sounds like a fun place to spend some time.

rumborak · « **Reply #88 on:** June 17, 2011, 01:29:49 PM »

Actually, the list in the OP is the same, since the flights were committed-to when I wrote the OP. The only part of the trip that is almost completely fleshed out is the European one. I will fly into Madrid, then go to Barcelona, Nice (France), Rome, and then home to Germany.

Crossing the Alps via train or flying? The train ride form Turano into Switzerland was one of the highlights of my trip. It also provides some quality time in the Lake Como region, which is fairly bad ass.

chknptpie · « **Reply #90 on:** June 17, 2011, 01:38:33 PM »

I loved Switzerland, it was so green and beautiful (keep in mind I live in the desert). Nice was nice (ha), except for the fact of some creepy old dude asking me if I wanted to go to a party. I was 11 at the time.

Rumby, where are you going to be in China? If you find yourself in Hong Kong for some reason, I'd be more than happy to show you around (barring you don't have friends here or something).

Ooh, that would be wicked cool! In my current time schedule I will fly into Hong Kong end of September. If you are in town around that time, that would be awesome.

PM me about it closer to when the time comes!
