Faraway

There are many options to reach in Asia from Europe. Finding the cheapest way seems to be  flying just because with train you need visa for Iran that means 60 euros just for a visa. With airlines there are 3 options:

From London with Air Asia will cost you about 300 pounds to Kuala Lumpur .

From Athens with Air Arabia will cost you about 200 euros to Mumbai.

From Istanbul with Jazeera Airways will cost you about 250 euros to Mumbai.

Any round-the-world trip requires a lot of planning.  Perpetualtravel.com offers hundreds of articles regarding the preparation  for  long-term, independent, budget backpacking.

The journey is the adventure — not the destination.

You only need a passport and a credit card — there is no better time than now!

There’s no question: overpacking tops the list of biggest travel mistakes.

All quoted main roads and motorway supply roads were driven along in search of the best place to start hitch-hiking.

Birmania, Tailanda, Malaezia / decembrie 2006 – februarie 2007

Directia aproximativa si (cu sine) negociabila: China, o tara mare si greu de ratat pe harta.

I embarked on this journey with the will to understand a bit more, to get some answers to myself about this intriguing part of the world, the Sub-Indian Continent.

Spotted by locals promotes a great way to discover some of the major European cities, with a series of cityblogs for travelers who like to experience cities ‘the local way’.

By experiencing cities the local way, you learn about the culture and habits of the inhabitants. We are convinced a better understanding of different cultures will make the world a better place. We think we can make a modest contribution!
