There is nothing quite like the experience of a round-the-world trip. For those who have never embarked on one, it’s hard to describe the feeling of anticipation and excitement that comes with planning such an adventure. But for those who have, they know just how life-changing and rewarding a RTW trip can be.
I remember my first time planning a RTW trip—I was so excited! I pored over travel blogs and websites, reading about all the different places I could visit. It was daunting trying to figure out how to fit everything in, but it was also exhilarating imagining all the amazing experiences I would have. And eventually, after months of planning, my dream trip came together.
It wasn’t easy packing for a RTW trip—you need to pack light yet be prepared for anything. But after weeks of agonizing over what to bring and what not to bring, I finally had everything ready and boarded my flight overseas.
The best thing about a RTW trip is that every day is an adventure; you never know what you’re going to see or do next. From exploring ancient ruins in Greece one day to hiking through rain forests in Thailand the next, there’s always something new waiting around the corner. Every country has its own unique culture and history which makes visiting them all even more interesting (not mention Instagrammable).
But as amazing as it is traveling from place-to-place on your own schedule, there’s something special about being part of a group tour too (especially if your group becomes like family). There’s something comforting about having someone else plan your daily itinerary for you (and dealing with any unexpected surprises along the way!). Plus it gives you plenty of opportunities for socializing with people from all over the world—something that can be difficult when traveling solo .
Traveling around the world definitely isn’t cheap (unless you’re lucky enough to win The Trip), but in my opinion it’s worth every penny! Seeing new places and experiencing different cultures is something that can’t be replicated anywhere else . So if you’ve ever been thinking about taking a RTW trip yourself , go ahead—you won’t regret it!
