Round the World Travel Guide
Your One-stop Source to Plan & Book Around-the-World Trips
 

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
~St. Augustine

So, you’ve caught
the bug. Maybe it started as a sniffle while you were reading a book.
Perhaps it developed into a bit of a head cold whenever you spoke to
other travelers. Possibly, it bloomed into a full-on case while you
were studying abroad or traveling overseas. Whatever the reason or
cause, you’ve caught the travel bug, and now it’s time to do something
about it. What better way to “cure” yourself than by taking an extended
trip around the world?
An around the world
journey is an amazing opportunity to learn, change and grow. Anyone can
go around the world, from young adults to senior citizens to parents
with their children in tow. All it takes is a little bit of planning,
an open mind and a passion for travel.
