Plan you trip round the world
7 things to keep in mind
Have you been longing for a trip round the world? Even if it's quite easily done nowadays, there are still some planning to be done. Here are seven things to keep in mind when planning your big adventure.
Are you finally having some time off work but are having a hard time deciding on where to go? You might want to dive in Australia, go island-hopping in Thailand or be city chic in New York? Don't choose – pick them all!
Compare different offers and package deals. If you already know what stops you want to make; present your suggestions to different tour operators and see who gives the best offer. The price might differ on several hundreds of Euros depending on their deals with different airlines.
Most round the world tickets would require you to travel one way around the globe – east or west. Keep this i mind when planning.
If you're booking your trip with a tour operator you might be offered to make extra stops, with a small fee. Also make sure you're reservations are changeable if you need them to and ask if there are any additional fees.
Students under 33 and youths under 26 can get discounts.
Make sure your insurance covers the whole trip.
Remember that you passport will have to be valid even after you're back home. For trips to the US you passport needs to be valid six months after your trip.
You will have to apply for a VISA to enter some countries. Remember that paper work can be slow and you need to apply on time. Also keep in mind that you'll have to leave the country before your VISA expires.
