I’m finishing the phd in august. I have the cash saved ( i think). and I have no job holding me back. I’m psyched. and I have a free first class ticket to china and hongkong ( august 10-28)- That’s my starting point- Then to elsewhere in asia: thailand, vietnam, laos, cambodia, india, tibet, napal, bangledesh…) Hopefully, then Africa (anyone know of a reputable tour company? safe for a little blond american?). I have a friend doing a post-doc in jerusalen.. Havn’t thought much farther. eastern europe, egypt, then south america? hmmm.. any recommendations? If you have done this before—I would love to hear from you—especially advice about logistics, budgetting etc… did u get lonely? I have travelled alone before, but only for a month or 2—I’m planning on 4-6 months.
