In this case, I go out of my usual post on mobile and gaming.
I will share you some tips on how to make you dream come true:
1. Speak early with your work
Speak early with your work and try to get some money from the state for quitting or to have a career break. You can also try to keep working remotely. I was selling perfumes and cosmetics as Export Manager and I went visiting some possible customers during the trip. This allows me to win money while traveling. I had a shirt and a tie in the bottom of my backpack for those special occasions :-)
2. Set up a blog
To communicate easily with your friends and family. You can use an easy tool as blogger.
3. Choose you transport
You can go walking, with a bike, an old car, running, etc. In my case, it was more traditional with bus and plane. You can either make an itinerary yourself with tools as StarAlliance or Oneworld. You can go with agencies specialized in this as Aroundtheworldtour or Airtrecks for example. There are kinds of speedways in the sky that are cheaper. Those agencies will help you to find a cheap itinerary.
From my side, we had a ticket for 2000 EUR going from Barcelona-Los Angeles-Tahiti-Cook island-New Zealand-Australia-Singapore-Thailand-Delhi-Barcelona
4. Take an insurance
The travel agencies can help you find insurance that will support you for health or robbery during the trip.
5. Mix activities and countries
If you only visit you will feel as a parasite at the end. Try to alternate tourism with work in associations or following courses. In Australia and New Zealand you can work doing fruit picking if your country offers you a working visa holiday.
You can also get free food and a place to stay working for some NGO's and natural parks.
Try to mix poor and rich countries.
It's the moment to follow your dream. You can learn massage in Bangkok, do free bungee jump or free fall in New Zealand, walk with elephants in India, climb the Himalaya, do yoga classes in Nepal, learn new languages, learn water dive, sailing, etc.
6. Check the cost of living in the countries you will be traveling to.
The cost of living is twice cheaper in Thailand than in Australia for example.
7. Alone, with friends, in family?
If you go alone you will meet many people and can easily travel part of the trip with other people walking alone. For transport and hotel, traveling in a group is always easier.
With friends, you must be sure they are excellent ones as a long trip can be up to one month to a year.
Going with your partner or the family is maybe the best as you can share your emotions.
