With a possible change of plans, comes a re-thinking of my route and were I’ll go. Since I will likely only have one year or one year and a few months, I’ve been thinking about shorter trips in less countries. Maybe Asia or South America?
I’m leaning more to the asia idea, so I came up with a very basic itinerary;
- 1 Month in Indonesia
- 1 Month in Malaysia & Brunei
- 2 weeks in Singapore
- 1 Month in Thailand
- 1 Month in Laos & Cambodia
- 1 Month In Vietnam
- 1 Month, 2 weeks in China (East Coast)
- 2 Months in Japan
- 4 Months in India
That should satisfy my itchy feet for a while - at least enough to give me three or four years to finish university…then I’ll head back out for a real adventure.
I thought I’d take this opportunity, late at night on the eve before I go back to school to start year 11, to outline a few goals, first for this blog, then for my travel, and then for myself.
Goals For This Blog:
- Officially “launch” this blog by the end of April 2008. I realise the blog is currently online, and public, but so far I have not been actively advertising it or anything.
- Make enough money through advertisements and other avenues on this blog, to pay for the web hosting and domain name by the year’s end.
Goals For Travel:
- Have a 50% rough plan by the year’s end.
- Have saved atleast $5000 by the year’s end.
- Have saved atleast $20,000 by the end of 2009.
- (Maybe) Purchase a HD Video camera by the end of 2009.
- Chronicle my journey in a documentary style film.
More:
- Finish Year 12 (HSC).
- Get accepted to University of my choice (As yet undecided).
- Have fun!
