Ellie,
I would second the suggestion to visit Asia. We spent a month
there,
visiting Hong Kong, Beijing, throughout Thailand and on to
Nepal.
Much depends on your willingness to move around. If you would
like to
plant for a while, I would suggest Thailand as your base. This
is a
fabulous country and relatively inexpensive. Once your are
in Asia,
you will find air travel cheap and you can move around visiting
many
spots. You will find cheap flights to India, Cambodia, Vietnam
and Nepal.
If you are not comfortable with the idea of visiting Asia, I would suggest Australia. It takes time and money to get there, but there are bargains around. Out-of-country travellers can take advantage of the airpass offered only to tourists. A travel agent will be able to tell you about the four, five or six city pass that will allow you to fly around the continent at a good price. You can also buy bus passes and tour passes, again avaiable only to out-of-country tourists, which will save you money. We were in Austria, Germany and Switzerland ten years ago and found these countries to be horrifically expensive. I'm sure it hasn't changed. Lucy, Toronto |
