In the beginning our idea was to travel America from north to south. The problem was that with our budget the trip would have been too short. We wanted to stay on the road for at least six months. The ideal would have been 12 months. After making some budgeting we decided to use our connections better and spend more time in cheaper countries. We ended up to do a round-the-world trip that was a dream of both of us.
This route came up when we brought up some of must-do / must-see options. Monica wanted to visit Peru, Johannes wanted to lay on heavenly beaches and both wanted to take the Trans-Siberian train. Some compromises had to be done; we had to drop Nepal, New Zealand and other Latin American countries from our route. We had to skip also the whole African continent.
Next step was walking into the Kilroy travel agency in order to optimate our plan.
Now we have some kind of idea of our route, even we haven't bought every plane or train ticket. Here is a map that was drawn in our farewell party!
Route:
- By train from Helsinki to Beijing, stopping also in Ulan Bator, Mongolia
- Flying to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
- About two months time to discover whatever we like
- Flying to Melbourne, Australia
- By bus to Sydney, Australia
- Flying to Fiji
- Flying to Samoa
- Flying to Hawaii
- Flying to Los Angeles
- Somehow to San Francisco
- Flying to Vancouver, visiting British Columbia
- Flying to New York
- About a month to visit what we want
- Flying to Lima, Peru
- About a month to visit also areas around
- Flying to Madrid, Spain and probably continuing travelling in Europe
IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANNA ROCK'N'ROLL
