some one to travel with.....

beckstar

basically im looking either number one :to move out of ireland altogether..... canada for a year maybe..... as all my mates are settled with boyfriends or have plans of there own. i'm kinda out on my own with regards moving over there.....i like to say i could do it along as i am quite independent and have travelled alot but always with groups but i'd prefer to move with some one maybe in the same boat as me. Maybe another girl but im not hugely fussy on that (as alot of my best friends would be lads).

my other plan which is to travel the world. my mate did it two years ago on about 10'000 and a €2000 limit on his credit card. best trip of his whole life he said now i have abit saved but not that much but if someone was comitted to saving like me i would save a much as i can over the next 3 months and take out a loan for the rest. i'm only young once and im dying to see new places and met different people then the same old places and faces of ireland!

im not looking for a huge group just one or two other people who are independent and easy going who's interested in really experiencing life!!!

Wow. In all honesty this could be the most brilliant thing you could ever do, but it's a possibility that it could just as easily be a disaster. Far from me to criticise unfairly, but you want to have an idea who your going to be around for months and months. I really love the idea of this, it may well be the best thing you ever did or do. I would just urge you to consider going, one, by yourself first perhaps(they're are many benifits to traveling alone) or, two, meeting up with whoever replies and guaging if you could honestly spend months with them when you don't know them. That is to say don't get swept up in enthusiasm when in the long picture it might not b workable. I know that feeling obligated to hang with someone you may not really be friends with is one of the worst things in life.

Then again, maybe i'm out of the loop and people do this all the time. In fairness anyone who does something like this would have to be pretty sound, so maybe you're on to a winner. It sounds like a cool way to start any trip, just bear in mind what i've said.

Hey there..just browsin around here found your post..am in the same boat as yourself.want to get out of here and travel. None of my friends are goin to go all have settled/ babies etc. Ive spent a year in oz..the best thing i have ever done!! (yet).. i travelled out there on my own though i had friends out there already so used them as a base. met some great people though that i am still in contact with. I think i would like to go alone again although i really want to do south america/asia so im really nervous about it but if i dont do it now i never will (im 25). another thing is how long do ya go for..id love another year away at least but would that be too expensive..so should i go travel s.america/asia for say 6 months then head to nz and work?? would love to work in america but think its difficult to get a visa..or i could maybe work in canada i guess. anyways im beginning to ramble now but just some thoughts. there are defo people travelling alone though so you will be sure to meet lots of people along the way:D

Just about to finish up a masters end of July. Plan is to save until I have enough money to go somewhere. Where am I going I have no idea. I have cousins in Perth who said they're having the time of their lives. A friend of mine got offered a job teaching in Thailand for a year starting in October, could do that. There's jobs going teaching English in Korea. I have 12 months to apply for a visa in the US to work (you have 12 months from when you graduate). I heard NZ is supposed to be an amazing place but very high cost of living and low wages so I'd probably give that a miss unless I was going for a holiday. To be honest I want to do everything, volunteer in Africa, backpack India, interrail Eurpoe, travel South America, work in Oz, see NZ, travel through Asia....there's just so much to do, I can't do it all so how do I make a decision? In the end of the day I think it all depends on how much money you've got, how long you want to go away for, and what your main reasons for traveling are, do you want to make money, get work experience, spend all day on the beach, learn about a new culture...what? If you can find someone who has similar priorities to you then you should arrange to travel together but keep in mind that when you're settled in to your new life you might go your separate ways. Keep your plans updated, who knows maybe I'll join you in some random country!
