Blog: How to plan a RTW
The best travel advice I ever had (in a pub) though, was stop worrying about everything - just get going. We at roundtheworldflights.com need no excuse and have known the benefit for years - but its also a great travel resource. Get thee to the pub with as many mates or mates of mates that you've ever known who have been travelling. Ask them about their prior trips and where they'd like to go back to. People are usually insanely happy to talk about their travels, often to the point of dullness, but you can get mining for Grade A info and you might turn up one or two inspirational gems...more

RTW Blog with Mark Eveleigh
In 1992 Mark Eveleigh (www.markeveleigh.com) spent six hours reviewing
his
life while swinging from the end of a fraying cable in the world's
highest
cable-car, in Venezuela. The psychological shock of this experience was
enough to send him plummeting down the slippery slope into the shadowy
world
of freelance travel-writing. As a photojournalist he has since contributed
to 60 magazines and newspapers on 6 continents. Mark specialises in adventure travel and exploration but has written on
conservation and cultural aspects of more than 50 different countries.
In
1996 he led the first expedition by foreigners into Central Borneo's 'valley
of the spirit world,' collecting material for Fever Trees of Borneo.
He
grew
up in Africa, and returned in 1999 to trek through northern Madagascar
with
a zebu pack-bull. The full story was told in Maverick in Madagascar. He continues to spend most of each year travelling on assignments in
remote
parts of Africa, Asia and Latin America but between trips is based in
Pamplona, Spain. Hemingway once described Mark's adopted hometown as
'the
hell-raising capital of the world' but the man who Maxim called 'a
borderline insane modern-day explorer' admits to finding it increasingly difficult to shake off the effects of the world's greatest fiesta. Now Mark is off on a fabulous 7 Stop Discoverer RTW - read all about his trip here
Last 10 weeks to the departure. Now it's time to plan a trip a bit. Let me tell you a bit about ourselves and the general idea of the travel. We're currently in Dublin, Ireland. Saying we, I mean Ola and Bart. As it's gonna be our first such a long trip we decided to be prepared quite well (contrary to most guides which advise to be as spontaneous as possible) and started a couple of months ago. If you're looking for some crazy stories you probaly have a wrong URL and better switch to other blogs. We are neither regular backpackers nor hippie travelers. We do appreciate modern living standards but always dreamt of traveling. Not extremely extreme, just moderately extreme.
