Maybe you have never heard of RTW trips or, you know what they are, but never even dreamed to plan one. The first thing we think about when planning a vacation is : the budget. And for long term travel, the budget scares us. But, suffice to say, it might be cheaper – in some cases – to travel rather than to stay at home. You are not getting any younger and , fast forward 30 years, you’d want to say: “I loved traveling the world” rather than “I wish I have traveled the world”. On a RTW trip, you can do what you want to do every single day. Not to mention that you get a chance to do what you truly love, meat new people, learn new skills and polish the skills you already have. Unfortunately, you cannot go everywhere ,so you will have to prioritize. Start with the cities/sites/experiences you’ve always dreamed of visiting or doing. Write those down. Then decide whether you want to spend more time in the cities or in the outdoors. Maybe you want to visit the iconic sites on the globe or you’d be happy checking out every single popular beach. Once you choose those, it’s time to decide what type of accommodation you prefer, which segments to fly and which to [...]
If you haven’t had a chance to check out our new traveler profiles, then this is the perfect time to do it. Part of what makes indie travel great is all the meaningful connections one makes with both locals and other travelers. So what we wanted to do was to give indie travelers a place to get together and share their adventures with other like-minded people. These traveler profiles are short and sweet and offer a variety of information about each person’s round the world trip (or for those who have not yet gone – their dream round the world trip). Each Tuesday, though, we are going to highlight one traveler from our profiles and offer up a little more information about them. Learn more about traveler of the week Grant below! 1. When do you leave for your trip and where is your first destination? I left September 5th and the first destination is New Zealand to do a South Island road trip with my sister. 2. What is your biggest concern at this point of the planning process? Only concern is being a little under planned for a month in China. I know the major stops I would like to hit such as Chengdu, Xian, Shanghai & Beijing but have not planned anything in-between. It is about time to hit the [...]

Round the World Chat (#rtwchat) is a weekly chat on Twitter that brings extended travel lovers together from all around the world to discuss everything there is to know about round the world (rtw) travel. There is a new theme each week, and travelers and hosts exchange information, tips, links, and stories about their love of extended, round the world travel. Every Wednesday from 3:30-4:30 EST (GMT -4), the host tweets a new question every 6 minutes, and the participants provide their answers with tips and information (and usually quite a bit of humor). Join Twitter if you haven’t already. It’s free and super easy to sign up. To participate, it’s easier to use a social media dashboard (Hootsuite or Tweetdeck are the most popular and easiest to use) rather than using Twitter directly. After you choose your preferred method to access Twitter, search for the hashtag #rtwchat. You can then create a column for #rtwchat so all other tweets are filtered out. That way you only see tweets having to do with the chat itself. Sign in right at 3:30 EST (GMT -4), wait for the questions, and provide your answers. Add #rtwchat at the end of every answer so it is included. Have fun, meet other like minded people, and learn something new about extended, round the world travel!
RTW chat #2 is in the books, and we had more people join and pitch in. The topic was Planning your RTW Route, so if a RTW trip is something you’ve dreamed of doing but the planning of it seems daunting, you can find a lot of great help and tips in the chat.

Back in the spring we published a free downloadable report on the state of round the world (RTW) airfare around the world. The idea was to offer travelers a comprehensive report comparing the different options out there for RTW airfare – including the DIY model of buying one-way tickets to get yourself around the world. Download the summer version of the Around the World Airfare Report for free here! Almost as soon as we were finished with the first edition, we began thinking about version two. We thought about what we learned from our research and writing of the first report, listened to feedback from you, our readers, and started researching this version. There are some differences in this report, largely the introduction of specific search features and prices for round the world tickets from three different countries – the United States, the UK, and Australia. Instead of searching all the same companies for each departure point, like we did last time, we found companies in each country and worked with them, trying to simulate as best we could what a real search would look like. Again we posed as customers to get the most accurate look at what you as travelers would experience when shopping for a RTW ticket. We also came up with two separate routes to search [...]
This is part of BootsnAll’s 30 Days of Indie Travel project, a daily blogging challenge with a prompt for every day in November 2011. Check out the prompt at the bottom of this post to find out how you can participate! “It’s clearly a budget. It’s got a lot of numbers in it.” –George W. Bush Everyone has slightly different priorities when it comes to travel budgets and expenses. Personally, I like to save on accommodation, and I’m willing to pay more for food or splurging on a cool experience. I’m also a notorious cheapskate when it comes to things I feel should be cheap or free. Other than your initial flight, the largest expense while traveling is usually accommodation, but when the purpose of traveling is to explore and experience a new place, the last thing I want to spend a ton of money on is where I’ll be sleeping. Cheapskate confessions: I made my own fresh-squeezed orange juice on my transatlantic cruise from Barcelona back to the states (with a knife, spoon, bowl, cup, and a mountain of free oranges they provide on the boat). On the same boat, I did my own laundry in the tiny little sink and hung my clothesline criss-crossed across my tiny little cabin. I’ve slept in several airports to save $ on [...]
This week we’re talking about career breaks, which might have you wondering just what is a career break, exactly? “Career break” is a relatively new term, used to describe a period of time when one steps away from the corporate world for any one of a multitude of reasons. According to our friends at Meet, Plan, Go!, a career break “can be from 1 month to 3 years. Anything shorter than a month really falls into the glorified vacation bucket. There are a few things that make a career break unique; namely that you should have a career that you are breaking away from. This puts the typical career break age range from 27 to 57 years old. Younger, and it might be considered a Gap Year and older it may be considered retirement. When people add the element of globe trotting to their break, then it’s career break travel. It may mean that you tick off a bucket list, travel around the world, or simply go live as an expat in another country. Basically, it’s about shaking up your normal routine in a big way with your passport in hand.” Reasons for taking a career break are as varied as the trips themselves. Some people are burned out at their current jobs and want to recharge and refocus away [...]
Sometimes the only thing keeping you from doing that thing you want to do is not having someone standing next to you saying, “I’ve done that. It’s awesome. You should totally do that.” Yes, even go-getters sometimes need to be pushed in order to turn a dream into a reality. “I was very excited to know there are people organizing this type of meeting and giving a human-touch reality to the blogs and travel sites I followed for years. The biggest impact I got was to realize that I am not the only one taking a career break. Now I’ve been traveling for 3 months and I am as happy as I can be – this is my dream slowly becoming reality day by day.” – Pablo You’ve heard us talk about the upcoming Meet, Plan, Go! event this year, and you might have been following along with our new weekly series called Round the World Wednesday. Perhaps you’ve read the articles, or read about Meet, Plan, Go!, and thought, “Yeah, that would be cool. But…” – and that’s where you’d insert whatever obstacle you think is keeping you at home. “The Meet, Plan, Go! event helped me to see that there’s no better time than NOW to start! I was amazed at all the people that have already done [...]
This week on BootsnAll we’re traveling around the world – and not just through the second installment of our new Round the World Wednesday column! We kicked off Monday with a look at the best places to see Art Nouveau art and architecture. Even if you don’t know much about the style, with its focus on fluidity and the organic, natural form, you can probably agree it’s beautiful. Read more about it and find out where you can see it around the world, including in Prague, Brussels, Riga, and London. Tuesday we shift from the man-made to nature with tip on how you can enjoy the benefits of clothing-optional hot springs without the stress and embarrassment of getting naked in front of strangers. And there’s more water-centric travel inspiration to come, with Thursday’s article on the best wet and wild ways to experience the natural beauty of Costa Rica. If you’re in the stages of planning a round the world trip, career break, or extended travel, don’t miss this week’s Round the World Wednesday article, in which Adam Seper takes you through the steps of planning your RTW route. If you’re having trouble narrowing down your options or mapping out your travel plans, this is one not to miss! Photo by Smath
A few weeks ago, I posted a poll to our Facebook page, asking what kind of traveler you would consider yourself to be — in ONE word. And while we started with 10 answers — the BootsnAll community is so independent [and creative!] that the poll quickly got abandoned in favor of posting answers in the comments section. Here’s what you had to say: Sound about right? This week on BootsnAll Today, Adam Seper brings us part two of traveling on the cheap with How to Travel Around the World for $40 Per Day. Later this week, we’ll take a look at staying healthy on the road, how to travel more without leaving your day job — enjoying travel without committing to a full round the world trip, along with a quick peek at making the most of your time as an expat. Has the type of traveler you are changed over the years?
This week we covered the "why" of your trip and people/things that have inspired you. Join us every Wednesday on Twitter #rtwchat at 12:30pm PST.
