Two trips, not totally cemented yet but one will be to Eastern Europe (Romania and Belarus likely) and the other to SEA (Thailand for sure, with potentially South Korea). E.E. will be with a group of guys that I've been long term friends with, SEA will either be solo or with one other guy.

What do you do, if you don't mind me asking? All that travelling is going to cost some serious coin.

To answer the question, I haven't really decided yet. I'm considering moving to London to work through to the end of July and then travelling through the rest of Europe during the European summer. Alternatively, I could stay home in Australia and take another trip to South East Asia sometime during the year. Boring, I know! That location-independent lifestyle is a distant dream at the moment.

I'm a tech entrepreneur. So, software basically, which is how I'm largely location independent. And maybe I'm jaded because I make good money, but I challenge the idea that my travel itinerary is really expensive. I think it's within more people's grasps than they might think, especially if you get good at racking up miles from credit card offers, using Airbnb to find reasonable rentals, and not picking the most ridiculously expensive cities. A strong US dollar is on our side this year too, if you're American.

Oh, and I should mention that this is actually how I live. I don't have an apartment somewhere else that I'm also paying for while I travel like this.

It's great to see soo much serious travelling going on here among many of the forums members.
Makes me wonder what/how you make it happen.
At the moment Im "stuck" in sales for a big company and still hasnt quite figured out how to allow more time for travels, but Im working on it and one day I will be where I want to be.

Safe travels.

The only planned trip is Banff in March for ski

Post: #42

Planning to visit Serbia/Bosnia. I'd like to visit Newfoundland also but have a 9-5 gig here in the states, so don't think that'll be a viable option.

Nowhere, other than perhaps a Vegas trip. My primary focus for the first half of this year will be dieting and leaning out. My bf% is too damn high.

Post: #45

Here's the plan thus far, but it's all flexible tbh:
- Saigon = 1-2 weeks in May.
- Kharkov = 7-8 weeks in May & June.
- Minsk = 7-8 weeks in July & Aug.
- Greece or Switzerland or Spain or Portugal = 2-3 weeks in Sep.

If you're around, PM me and let's grab a beer.

Some excellent destinations in here gentlemen! Can't wait to be travelling again.

Feb - March - Hong Kong and Da Nang/Hoi An
May/Jun - a 1 week trip probably to Portugal around Lisbon. Maybe I'll try Zagreb or Belgrade.
For the summer I'm still looking for ideas for a 1-2 week trip. Right now I'm leaning towards EE but have not yet narrowed it down. Lot's of places to choose from...

Post: #47

Awesome destinations

April- Philippines for a month
Sept- Dominican Republic for 7 days
Nov- Columbia for 3 weeks

Hope to meetup and hang with some of you guys

Just got back from 3 weeks in Rio, my first visit, very underwhelmed at the women, sure if your into the bedraggled fat black ass look it's your place , but after eastern europe the quality is just not there for me..

So this year it will be: Hungary, Ukraine early in the year, February and March, June i will need to go to Australia, not that i want to , but i have to to meet the folks. Then after that i might need a fix in Moldova, but other than that the usual trips i do each year to Austria, France, Germany Italy and my home place of Switzerland, might need to visit Norway and the US on business too, squeeze a few in there as well... :-)
