How do you decide your travel itineraries. They seem all over the map to me.

Your next trip is the middle east, se asia and south america?

@Chiba,

Sofia (Bulgaria) wasn’t controversial at all, and no mixed feelings. Well, I got lost for about two hours trying to find my hostel, so that wasn’t fun… but otherwise, I enjoyed my visit there.

I would definately love to hear your experience you had in the Bulgarian capital.

It would probably be very controversial. Mixed feelings, right?

Can’t wait to read.

Cheers.

@ Everyone,

These are great questions — thank you all. I’ll answer all of them one way or the other, either in this thread later on or on the FAQ page for the ones that apply to a lot of people.

At the moment I’m in Sofia, Bulgaria after three days in Warsaw. This is the last stop before heading back home via Asia. On Friday (about 8 hours from now) I’ll post the trip report from my secret stopover last weekend.

Please keep the questions coming; I appreciate that you all are interested.

Hi Chris,

A question that popped into my mind the other day was – what do you actually do while travelling to these countries? Sometimes seeing tourist attractions, ancient buildings, hanging out with travellers from the hostels, and so on, becomes a bit boring.

How would you recommend for someone to balance paying off debt quickly with starting to pursue their goals?

Hi Chris,

I am an Indian and living in India and thinking about traveling around the world is not impossible but it is quite a challenge. I have few questions for you. Here are those:

1. How do you plan your travel?
2. What do you do after visiting that country/city?
3. How you visit places around the city?
4. How do you keep a balance between personal life and others?
5. Suggestions for me to travel the world. Remember I am an Indian and I earn less than $1000 per month as of now. I don’t know when I can touch that figure. I am a software engineer, one of the highly paid jobs in India. I know its not difficult but I am just 24 and I don’t know how exactly things work. I would appreciate if you give practical suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Saravanan.

How is an approach to non-conformity achieved without arrogance? I know it’s a basic question, but many who follow such a path do so because they “know” there is no other correct path in life. How necessary is humility in the pursuit of non-conformity?

I’d like to second [third? fourth?] “How do you pay for your travel?” even though you’ve already got it on your list… How much of your budgeting is done for trips? Do you have to focus on always keeping costs down when not traveling? Do you rent/own? Two incomes? One? I know some of this is kind of personal, and you absolutely don’t have to answer, but curiousity, and wondering what aspects I could personally implement are driving it…

I’m also curious what your goals/ideas are after you finish visiting every country?
