Angel Like I like your introductory write up very much, I feel the same and want to start travelling to some good places within India. I'm around 30, based at New Delhi (India), educated and working in a full time job. Want to take some days off and travel. Anytime post Oct 30 (next week) is fine with me. Are you guys in India by any chance?

Damian Steph, I'm on the same boat, but thinking of starting in July 2012. At least that's the plan for now. We should connect if not for the whole trip we can link up for legs of the trip. I'm also flexible in timing and location so I'm sure we can work something out.

Damian Hi Fiona! We are looking to do the same thing. Do u have any thoughts on starting point and direction of travel?

mrigasira I am in a similar situation as you - 42, have been working for almost 25 years continuously now, loves to travel. I am from India. Unfortunately, it is difficult for me to take off for an year and go round the world. But I love your idea - so please keep me posted. I am planning Europe for a month this summer, so if we are in at the same time we could catch up. And if you need help travelling through India, please do let me know.

Lisa Hi Damien ... Your definitely right about sharing travel memories.. My friend pulled out of our plans. I'm still going I start in February with brazil (3-4 weeks Argentina 3-4 weeks chile/Bolivia week each Peru 3-4 weeks Ecuador Galspogos islands 2 weeks and Columbia 3-4 weeks. I'm happy to continue to Asia with you ( Just came back from Singapore and have done Thailand but would do it again so cheap!). I'm heaps of fun and very creative with ideas in situations especially when travelling (: let me know what you think.

Marcia stacey Have decided I'm going to book my ticket in the next month or so to Thailand leaving in July/august time so I no this trip is defo happening. I don't want to keep talking about it I want to make it happen. I'm just going to get a one way to Thailand and go with the flow and book to each destination I want to visit as and when depending on the funds and how much work I do. All though I'm a bit wary of travelling on my own I'm sure ill meet people along the way. Is there any one who will be in Thailand around this time who can show me around help me out? Or anyone that's serious about going and possibly travelling at the same time as well it's now or never :)

abhishektch I recently went to Paris for my office work and enjoyed a lot there. Its a beautiful city. You can also check <a href ="http://www.myrajasthantravel.com">Rajasthan Travel</a>

Lauren Hey Damian, wow that's a lotta countries for 12 months! Will you be doing the trip on a budget (i.e. backpacking, hostels, couchsurfing) or more luxurious? And are you wanting to plan it all out before you jet off or just have a general plan and be able to stay longer/shorter in places when get there? I'm not sure where I'll be in the world, probably Australia, Chile or Canada in Mar'12, it would be great to meet up for a beer/coffee. What's your rough plan? Which continent first? Cheers

Damian Hi BeFree, I think we coordinate some parts of our trip. I plan to start going west from California. Fiji, Austrailia, etc..and then move to SE Asia. I haven't yet plan the complete itenirari, but working on it. Like you, I'm leaving a lot to chance and play it by ear as I go. Send me a Private Message if you want to try to coordinate something.

Ludmila Hi Damian! Liked ur travel plan a lot! Have quite a similar intention in terms of career break and travelling the world though I plan to start a bit later. It would be great to learn more about ur Asia plan! Also let me know if you need info on Russia
