Instructions
- Calculate your time and money. You can travel around the world in a week, or you can spend years doing it. Decide how much time you would like to use and how much money you have to spend on your trip.
- Pick your destinations. Make a list of all of the places you want to go. You can get a lot of information about places to visit in travel magazines, your local library or bookstore and also online.
- Plan your trip. Use your list of travel destinations to plan your actual route around the world. Decide how you want to travel from place to place and when you should purchase your tickets. It really is up to you whether you go all the way by airplane, or you can travel some of the way by boat, rail, bus, vehicle and even by animal; if this is what you desire.
- Ready your passport and get your visas. If you do not already have a passport, get one. Check the various countries you will be traveling to for any visa or other special requirements. Do this far in advance of your actual travel date.
- Take care of health issues. Learn what vaccinations or other shots you should get for all of the places you will travel to. If you have a medical condition, make sure you plan for this also. Talk to your doctor, if you have any questions concerning your health as you travel around the world.
- Take care of last minute details. Pay any bills that will come due in advance, or have this information with you. Take care of your mail. You can have it forwarded or have someone pick it up. If you have pets, make arrangements for them to come with you or for them to be taken care of while you are gone. Collect phone numbers and addresses of any one you want to keep in contact with. A good way to do this is to have this information in an online email account that you can easily access from any where around the world. In addition, make copies of every important paper you may need and email them to your own email account.
- Check the weather and pack. Pack according to the weather conditions expected in the places you plan to travel to. Do not over pack. It is better to have fewer items to worry about as you travel around the world.
