that's very cool I especially like how you documented everything. I've never really travelled much myself.

 

[saahmed]

Wow, thats amazing. I will have to check that site out once I get a chance. I hope I can do something like that sometime in my life, though probably not for that long.

 

[PhoenixOrion]

just amazing!

now i have to ask you questions if I ever go on a vacation to some of these locations.

 

[BillyBatson]

i am so envious of you
glad u made it back safely

 

[George P Burdell]

Welcome back :beer:

 

[LtPage1]

wow... you're definitely cooler than I am. Congratulations.

 

[nycxandy]

Man, you've lived a dream.

 

[GTaudiophile]

BTW, I would be proud to put this latest adventure on my resume if I were you. Says a lot IMO.

 

[Pocatello]

Wow, a real great adventure you had there. A thousand stories to be told later to all the kids!

actually, at my job i would've saved maybe 10k/year. the rest would've gone towards rent, insurance, food, etc. so the way i look at it, i forfeited only 30k that year

Do you spend only $20k a year?

 

[UglyCasanova]

Okay, I've decided I'm going to do this as well. As soon as I save up some cash I'm getting my plane ticket. I've always wanted to just go off and explore for a year or two, but now I have some inspiration.


How did you do it on 20k though? That doesn't seem like much money to travel the world like you did for a year.

 

[LuNoTiCK]

Thats great, the money you spent was so small though. I figured it would be more expensive, and was one year enough to see everything? I would want to spend more time than that.

Outside of Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, things are incredibly cheap. Lodging ranged anywhere from $5-10 a night, you could feed yourself for another $5-10. I spent $20k in a year, and if I wanted to make that money last another six months, I could've. Easily.

 

[Acanthus]

Absolutely incredible, you sir have lived more in a year than most of us ever will in our lives.
