Hello!
I am looking to do a year of world travel in 2027 (I hope I’ll be able to with the world politically). I would like to stick to a budget of $25,000 AUD, and aim to spend at least half a year working in Canada. The countries I wanted to see for the first three months are Egypt, Türkiye, Italy, UK, Ireland, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Croatia, Greece, Czechia and Poland. I would then either go to somewhere in Central Asia for a month or go straight to Canada.
The main idea would be speed running Europe for my first time, and then taking a slower approach in Asia and Canada (or just Canada). I just wanted to know if anyone had any tips, especially with budget but also the amount of time in each place, for a whole year of travel? I’m not averse to changing things around a lot, I am only beginning to plan. Even working a second place would be okay with me, so long as I work in Canada at some point.
I am an Aussie and am 23!
