Backpacking the World Backpacking, World

Ovaltine

I remember a post in the old forum about backpacking india? Forgot who was the poster.

I plan on backpacking the world, with about 20k-30k budget for a year.

Places I plan to go to: Argentina, India, Nepal, Tibet, Korea, Thailand, Vietnam and more

Toronto would probably be my mid-point, I got friends there that can take me in, while I can work to regain some of my expenses.

I have saved up about 10k already, my planning is still in it's early phases, anyone can offer some suggestions?

Europe backpacking is way too expensive, as cost of living and transportation is way out of my 30k ranges, I'd probably last less than 4 months with it. Besides, I have been to Europe when I was a kid, it is the poorer countries I want to take a look at. The proverty, and people under oppression, so that I don't feel as spoiled no more. I am 20 btw.

+Bhutan to my list.

I plan on staying in cheap motels or hostels, use wi-fi spots for my laptop, have a 4k budget for my poker bankroll.
PS: I am pretty good at online poker have earned 2k before.

The main objection of this trip is to gain knowledge of the world and learn how to live on my own. I don't believe secondary education would bring me where I want to go. Backpacking the world is the only way.

Got tied up with work, still saving, still learning poker. For sure
I am gonna do this thing when I am under 25. Right now, I feel too young, too ignorant.
Interested in a few new places, Dandong, China and Mongolia.

This dream never left me.
