Around the world for anyone?

Interested in a round the world trip but think its impossible?

Think again.

Let me give you a quick guide on how easy it takes one to do this, as well as answer all your dying questions:

1. Time

You want to see the world but with 14 days annual leave in a year, you ask me how is it ever going to be possible?

Simple. Break your round the world trip in parts. You don't need to see the world at one go, you won't enjoy much of it anyway.

My traveling tip for those who are tight on time, will be to travel by region. Start with Asia (because I'm from Singapore, do so accordingly to wherever you stay) and move around year by year. Saves you money this way too!

2. Modes of transportation

Nowadays we are able to travel round the world through anyway we dream of - either sea, air or land with the help of the advancement in technologies!

Traveling in budget has been the easiest and quickest ticket out from ones home land for their overseas experience, at least for countries nearby. I recommend Scoot (http://www.flyscoot.com/index.php/en/) as well as Air Asia (https://airasia.com/) for Asian countries.

For those willing to travel further (and pay more) you can try any of the 28 airlines from star alliances (http://m.staralliance.com/portal/home.do?l=en_US). You would be surprised how far you can go.

For those ego prefer sailing around the world, there are many well know cruise companies like star cruises (http://m.starcruises.com/en/home.aspx) and Royal Caribbean cruises (http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ports/group/home.do?portCode=SIN) that can help you as well.

3. Money

It's definitely gonna be costly for a round the world trip. The key is to plan and save in advance. Booking during promotional periods can save alot.

Else, entering a contest to win a trip could also solve the problem (nothing wrong getting Lady Luck to help right?)

4. Reason

Everyone needs a reason to travel. Why don't you make it a "just because" excuse rather than something fancy yet easily forgotten "bucket list"

So go ahead, take a break and go round the world like you should. Need more help? Read more at : http://www.lonelyplanet.com/europe/travel-tips-and-articles/76922
