My favourite subject

This is what I done and would recommend it to ANYONE. Got back end of December (just gone) and want to go again already.

TBH your best bet is to buy an all around the world open ticket. This came in handy as whilst in Thailand we extended with no cost. Also changed the departure dates from OZ about 10 times, no cost for doing this.

I got my ticket from a company called TRAILFINDERS. Based all over the world. Done it over the phone. For approx. a grand £ you get a certain amount of air miles. Cant remember the amount now unfortunately.

Whichever route is entirely upto you As there were 4 of us, we came to an agreement, not difficult!

The route we done was… left Heathrow to Bangkok (transfer flight from Singapore, was there for about an hour)!

After we were finished in Thailand, left for Singapore. Stayed for 3 nights. Just abig city at the end of the day.. fookin huge tiger prawns tho After Singapore, went OZ. Was originally gonna be there for about 3 months. This was extended to about 9 Once you get there, you’ll see why Loved it!! With regards to work. Lads I went with done labouring (cash in hand and well payed) Also, Printing. Depends what your skill is. Another mate is a chef! Found work easy. Now been offered sponsorship so is back to OZ shortly.. nice free accommodation for me when I go back If you don’t really have a trade as such then TELESALES Wicked laff tho. Travellers environment, so you just play cards and piss about really. Pay is pretty shite but pays for beer and rent.. that’s all you need.

Now, when we left OZ, we went to New Zealand.. what a place. We drove round the south and north Islands. The views and scenery are proper AMAZING. So much space, yet so few people. Saw glaciers etc! loved it there aswell. Made driving enjoyable, even tho we were in a Hyundai 1.5.. slow as fook esp with all the luggage

After NZ, went to Fiji for a week.. Island hopping Make sure your backpacket is waterproof Luckily mine was.. we got warned about that before we left. I could right so much about Fiji as I fell in love with the place. But you need to go see it! Culture and weed Chill out in a hammock, white sands whilst watching the sun set, red skies!! Was a nice relaxing part of travelling that place..

After that LA and Las Vegas.. what can I say, its America!!

Any info you need, let me know. Only to happy to help. JKust thinking about it makes me happy

Gonna have to get some pics up I reckon!
