Okay /trv/ellers, what are some journeys that you've always wanted to make? I'll start with two:

1. Go upstream along the Amazon river, from the Atlantic coast to Peru. And preferably not on some cruise ship either, but catching rides between towns with smaller boats.

2. Go from Cape Town to Cairo by land, complete with Vic Falls, Lakes Malawi and Victoria, Kilimanjaro, Kenyan safari, and a Sudanese near-death-at-hands-of-fanatics experience.

pic related, it's the Amazon river.

across the US, perhaps with a not so brief foray into Mexico... A bit like Kerouac in On The Road but without the hitchhiking and general boredom that was On The Road...

from finland to south-east asia by horse

Something through Central Asia (by road).

Maybe start in Istanbul and head northeast through Georgia and Azerbaijan, into Russia, then around the Caspian into Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc. Then Afghanistan and Pakistan, into interior China and Mongolia, finishing in Shanghai.


Hong Kong to Mumbai via southeast Asia + the Himalayas would also be cool, as would Siberia-Spain. I've also always wanted to travel extensively through New England.

And the last fantasy of mine would be to travel around the South Pacific on a pirate ship or something.

Yeah, I know. But, that just makes it at all the more fascinating of a country.

Realistically, I'd probably just continue through northern Thailand and northwestern Laos, into China's Yunnan, Sichuan, and Tibet provinces, then into India, Bhutan, etc. Much more interesting than Myanmar anyway.

I've been playing around in Google Maps with similar routes. I was thinking something like:

Turkey - Iran - Turkmenistan - Kyrgyzstan - China - Mongolia - China (to Beijing).

or

Turkey - Iran - Pakistan - India - Bangladesh - (boat to) Thailand - Cambodia - Vietnam - China (along eastern coast from HK to Beijing to the Great Wall).

Sometimes I imagine starting from Greece, Italy, or just fuck it and start all the way from Portugal. Some other routes I've thought of taking...

1. North African/Middle Eastern journey: Morocco - Algeria - Tunisia - Libya - Egypt - Israel - Jordan - Syria - Lebanon - Cyprus.

2. Similar to the above, but touring the Arabian states. Yemen - Oman - UAE - Qatar - Bahrain - Kuwait - Saudi Arabia.

3. Around the world from Toronto (where I live). I'd take a train East to Halifax, then take a boat to Lisbon. I'd travel through various European countries from Lisbon to Moscow. Then I'd take the train across to the Russian Far East. Then I'd take a boat to Anchorage, then train again into Canada, and all the way through Canada to Toronto. I've also though of other "around the world" trips.

4. From Toronto to the Southern tip of Chile, overland.

Goddamn I wish I had enough disposable income to just take off for 3 months. It's been 10 years since I last went abroad. ;_;

To save money, I'll need to buy a shitload of JR passes. And at $500 a pop for 3 weeks, Imma go poor pretty fast.

1. Brisbane (where I live) to London, overland where possible.

Essentially Brisbane > Darwin > Boat to Kuala Lumpur > the path of least resistance and likelihood of getting shot > London

2. Brisbane to Perth, via Sydney Melbourne and Adelaide; by car. Complete with ceremonial car sacrifice upon completion.

3. Drive from one coast of the US to the other.

When I'm of retirement age I want to pack up with my husband and travel the US for a year. No outside contact with family or friends, just travel and go wherever for a whole year.

You better have some sort of visa that allows you to stay for more than the regular 6 months then.

I've always dreamed of taking a train from Lisbon to Ho Chi Min City. It's possible and probably the biggest adventure possible.

Or drive from Canada to Tierra del Fuego.

Yeah, I wanna do the Pan-American Highway. IT'd be awesome.

Planning to do Japan->Vladivostok, Russia by ferry, when my contract is up (i'm 40km from a major port with ships three times weekly to Vladivostok), and then from Vladivostok to London by train. :D

Any way to pull that off for less than ~2man (200$)?

I want to ride a touring bike from LA to NY. I'm gonna do it, right now it's just a matter of saving money to buy a bike that can handle it, and enough cash so I can take 2 months off work and still afford to pay rent and bills...
