6 Month Travel Plan
So I posted here the other day asking for advice on my travel itinerary and quickly realised I was underestimating costs and spending too long in certain places.
So here is my updated plan based on advice.
Does this now sound reasonable?
And where to spend the 3 weeks remaining?
And do I still need to take time out of the back end in the expensive countries?
Accepted not staying in super fancy places, hostels okay if have a private room/shower.
Thailand (3 weeks):
- Phuket
- Ko Phi Phi
- Bangkok/Pattaya
Cambodia (1 week)
- Bus from Bangkok (save money)
- Siem Reap
- Phnom Penh
Vietnam (3 weeks)
- Bus from Phnom Penh
- Ho Chi Minh City
- Work way up country to Hanoi
- Ha Long Bay
Philippines (3 weeks)
- Island hopping (3 islands, top 4)
Singapore (3/4 days)
- Only as we fly via there to AUS.
- Stay cheap and just see the sites on foot.
Australia (3 weeks)
- Fly into Darwin and trip out to Uluru
- Sydney/Brisbane (Gold Coast and Bondi Beach)
- Could make it 2 weeks if possible to do that.
- Friends currently there and doing trusted house sitting to make it cheaper
New Zealand (4 weeks)
- Camper van for 28 days (£2,500p/p for a decent size one or £1,250p/p for a big car style one)
- Explore North Island. Mostly hikes.
Chile/Argentina (4 weeks)
- Easter Island
- Patagonia W/O trek.
- Torres del Paine
- Antarctica trip if on discount (separate to budget for cost)
This would leave a further 3 weeks to allocate and 1.5 weeks removed for travel time between places.
Rough costs
- Flights (up to NZ) = £1,800
- Flights (NZ to UK) = £2,800
- Thailand = £1,500
- Cambodia = £500
- Vietnam = £1,500
- Philippines = £1,500
- Singapore = £500
- Australia = £4,000
- New Zealand = £4,500
- Chile/Argentina = £4,000
Total = £22,500 per person
£2,500 left for risk of overspend.
