You know you want to do it. You’ve always wanted to hit the open road and see everything that this big, beautiful world has to offer. But where do you start? How do you make sure your trip is everything you dreamed of? Here are a few tips for planning your ultimate RTW trip as a hitchhiker!
Decide on your route. This is probably the most important part of planning your trip – deciding where exactly you want to go and what sights/countries/cities you want to see along the way. There are endless possibilities, so take some time to research different routes and find one that best suits your interests and travel style.
Budget accordingly. Once you have a general idea of your route, start estimating how much money you’ll need for each leg of the journey (flights, accommodation, food etc.). Don’t forget to factor in unexpected costs too – like visas or medical expenses – so be sure to have some extra cash saved up just in case!
Get packing! Now that all the important groundwork is done, it’s time start packing for your big adventure! Make sure to pack light but versatile clothes that will suit multiple climates, as well as essential items like sunscreen and insect repellent (mosquitoes can be pesky pests!). And don’t forget travel adapters if needed!
Have fun!! Finally, once all the preparations are complete it’s time sit back and enjoy every minute of your amazing RTW trip – after all, that’s what it’s all about!
