    Travelling / Backpacking

    Just wondering if anyone has actually done this as a gap year or just for a break and what are the best places to travel to?

    I didn't do the full thing, but went to Indonesia for a month with nothing but a backpack and some money. I spent two weeks in Java, and two in Bali, and can fully recommend it (though I'd check on the political situation with the FCO before going).

    I really wish people wouldn't say they "did" a country. You did not do it, you went there/visited/holidayed.

    I've got my route sorted...

    Get dropped off in Bangkok, stay in SE Asia for 1 month.
    Then Fly to Sydney and stay in Australia for a month.
    After that fly to Aukland and spend a month making our way the Chrischurch.
    Fly out of Christchurch to Fiji for a week.
    Then get a flight to L.A and spend 2 weeks making our way to San Francisco.
    Then get a flight to New York, stay there for a few days then fly home.


    Cannot wait!:D

    Thats sounds excellent have you got one or are you getting one of those tickets where you can travel up to 12 stops for a set price?
