Will have a career break and travel around the world for 300 days in 2014. Budget 125k for 2 pax (couple).

We'll start off with AA flight to Beijing, then Tibet, Nepal. Do join us for this part if you're interested. Targeted date April 2014.

Major expense will be cross continent flight (London-NewYork, SanFran-Lima, ChileSantiago-Auckland) and Antartica cruise.

I'd love to travel to Laos, I've heard from alot of backpackers that it's the best SEA country they have been to. But I can't due to time and budget constraints. Will you be heading to Thailand by any chance though?

Hmm.. Let me think of it. Actually I do have plans for Thailand in December will let u know on this. Btw, are u  travelling Thai overland?

Hello mateys! I'm going on a backpacking trip to Thailand for a couple of weeks next month. I'll fly into Chiang Mai on Nov 5th and will work my way down south. I'm planning on visiting Chiang Rai, spending couple of days in Bangkok, and then beaching hooping down on the Andaman Coast (Phuket, Phi Phi, Krabi, and the like). I'm don't have any solid plans yet and hope to keep my trip as spontaneous as possible. I spent two weeks in Bangkok and Krabi last year and loved it! So this is my return trip. If there are like minded adventurers out there willing to join me or meet up on any point of the journey, please leave me a pm!

PS: Oh and I will be BACKPACKING in the most literal sense. Which means no frills or no unnecessary luxuries. So if you can't take cold showers, cheap guesthouses, walking/hiking, or generally roughing it, this is probably not the trip for you.
