SEA April - 24yo, First time traveller - 6,000+kms: Singapore - Shanghai, So Excited!
Hey Guys!
Been thinking on this trip for years and finally planning it for the last few months.
24M - First time traveller - Backpacking/Hitchhiking 6,000+ Kilometers from Singapore to Hanoi, Vietnam over roughly 4 months.
I'm incredibly excited as I have never been outside of New Zealand/Australia and have only done trips between Brisbane - Sydney - Melbourne and so on with some bush camping interspersed in these little trips.
20th April to Early-September
Mid-April I will be flying to Auckland, NZ to visit family for a week, then flying back to the Gold Coast, Brisbane. Having a night layover at a friends place and then the 8hr flight straight on to Singapore.
-
Singapore: 2/3 Days -> Definitely visiting the "Gardens By The Bay"
-
Malaysia: 1/2 Weeks (Visiting friends of a friend, Cameron Highlands/Taman Negara, Langkawi) Malaysian BFF was originally planning on coming with me and fattening me up here but alas, Uni internships have stolen him from me ->
-
Thailand -> ? No plan, just enjoy travelling through, seeing sites, eating food, staying in hostels and just generally going with the flow :)
-
Cambodia -> Similarly no plan, pop into Phnom Penh and see what people are planning in Hostels and maybe tag along.
-
Vietnam -> ? Same thing again, except this time I'll head up the coast (I'm also taking a Hammock, so heaps of beach naps)
-
Laos -> Vinh, Vietnam to Vientiane up to Luang Prabang then up to Hanoi.
-
Vietnam -> Now we're at Hanoi! We survived! The major part of the trip done, hopefully by this point it'll be reasonably close to September and the start of Uni in Shanghai.
**And now that it's September!**
I plan to spend a year studying Mandarin at Uni and seeing what China has to offer as my final destination!
And at this point it's most likely train to Hong Kong for a few days and visit some friends. And seeing how time permits I'll have to get to Shanghai for the beginning of the semester.
I've spent the last week or two on r/solotravel reading so of your amazing trips and plans, places you've visited and it's incredible! I wanted to be a part of this as well - Some of you have decades of travel under your wings and I would love to hear feedback from all of you!
Whether to visit some places further out of the way of my current map or things to consider prior to taking the final plunge!
Looking forward to your comments and advice!
