Ever dreamt of traveling around the world?

Oh yes, I'd like to be able to travel the world. Those are good tips. I hope I'll be needing them in the future.

Having already been around the world I would say it offers great advice. I knew that I wanted to go to Australia on my trip and took advantage of two free flights there, one from Sydney to Adelaide and another from Cairns to Darwin. I had ten stopovers on a years ticket but stayed longer because I traveled on two different airlines. I got a working holiday visa for Australia and that might be possible for some travelers on of the permitted nationalities and in the chosen age range. I got a youth hostel card and a VIP backpackers card. I bought travel insurance that was good value but comprehensive. I took written and photocopied notes on California, Hawaii and Fiji. I took a travel guide book on Australia and the same company now do buy by the chapter on the Internet. Whilst in Australia I got a second hand copy of a travel guide for South East Asia.
