It’s my career
Yes
Starting in Thailand. From there Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, China, maybe Myanmar and who knows where else!
I have been kinda planning this trip since i got back from the last big trip 5 years ago (India & Nepal) then i inherited a bit of money and couldnt think what else to spend it on.
Suppose i got into this type of travel during the 1 year working holiday round Oz
trying not to think about it 
my mum would far rather i was traveling with somebody but apart from that everybody has been very supportive (if a bit jealous)
Just Enough
planning on traveling light. i guess the most indispensible item would be zip lock bags
ohh i am sure it will change my life but how im not sure yet, its part of the fun finding out
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i cant wait
its not for everybody and i know many folks who would hate to be without their creature comforts ect but for those that enjoy it it give far more chance for life and adventure to find you
that is is from 18 – 25 year olds only. some of the most prolific travellers i have met have been aged 40 plus.
nothing else offers as much freedom and chance to meet new people.
Its also pretty fun to party as much as you can whilst travelling.
Pack as light as you can
