Big floppy donkey dick… so it’s official now! I’ll start my longest trip by so far; round the world (RTW) in a year. I have 50 days left till 27th of September when I’ll fly to Cape Town, South Africa and begin the journey (tag and category is Turbo The World – TTW)
Some facts nor estimates
Budget
16 000 euros; ~50 euros per day
Direction
To the sunrise! -> India -> Asia -> Pacific -> South or North America.
Countries I hope to visit
South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Tansania, India, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Bali, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Chile, Mexico, US and Canada
The next stop: Africa
A medium size carry-on backpack (45 + 10 litres) and pre-booked only a single flight and 5 days of hostel in Cape Town. That’s all because I want to keep my plans open and not too much pre-hustle. I’ll probably book a flight from Africa to India before I leave because I would love to have at least 2nd leg to look to.
The motive
I have been working full-time from 2009 and a rat race is pretty well-known. 7 years of work has taught me a lot of business life and employment. I have a great job with the most awesome colleges; what more I could expect? The best thing is that I know now what to expect of a life with roots in the ground. It’s not my time yet because still have too much to see and experience. Sabbatical leave (or a career break) would define perfectly what I’m actually doing.
The time is now or never, too often people realise this fact too late.
Turbo.Press and TTW
