If you’re in Australia and want to depart from there for your round-the-world or multi-continental trip, it’s easy to find a good fare – as long as you’re willing to do some searching and some researching.
Digital Backpacker 2000
January 4th: India Hello rupee!! Hello chocolate!! Holland welcomed me with a cool breeze and the German words “Noch immer Radarkontrolle” along the highway. It wasn’t a feeling of coming home at all. I missed the palm trees and the crowds walking the streets at night. Back home the doors are closed all day, even

Travels without a Plan #16
Singapore, Melaka and Kuala Lumpur I have finally left Australia and am well and truly onto the next stage in South East Asia. My final week in Australia can only really only be described as lazy, with not much going on apart from my first Cricket International, Australia A vs Zimbabwe (the Aussies won easily)
Travels without a Plan #15
New Year’s Eve, Surfers Paradise and Brisbane If I had thought Christmas was rather surreal in Byron Bay, there is only one word that can describe New Year’s Eve, and that is awesome.

G’day from Australia! (Part II)Updated January 2nd, 2001 Our second day started very early, as most of the group had requested a pre-dawn wake-up call to catch the sunrise. So, at 4:45 a.m., John politely came around and banged on our tents with a spatula. We breakfasted on corn flakes, greasy bacon, flat pancakes and

G’day from Australia! (Part II)Updated January 2nd, 2001 At long last and only a month overdue, here’s the second part of our Australian adventure… Upon our return from Cape Trib, we had enough time to dry off and get a few hours of sleep before we had to be on the boat for our trip

It Doesn’t Matter Which Road You Take #1
Episode One: Turbulence, Large Craniums and Moving Sidewalks Our flight from Phoenix to Connecticut is as uneventful as any flight to Connecticut most likely is. Chris plays with the air vents and periodically points out that the safety seal on the exit door is broken. The turbulence is bad and I make Jurassic Park references
It Doesn’t Matter Which Road You Take
Preparations for Departure When I announce I want to go to Europe, I am not surprised by anyone’s response. My siblings take it in stride as just another “Vince thing”. My boss gives me a hundred and fifty bucks, a copy of Michener’s The Drifters, and the address for a Biergarten in Munich. My parents
Ikahn’s Top Ten Tips for Traveling in Morocco
Ikahn’s Top Ten Tips for Traveling in Morocco Morocco In the eight years since my first trip to Morocco I’ve learned so much and yet am still vibrating from the visceral impact of the grandeur and starkness of life in Morocco. Moroccans are renowned for their beauty and as I also found; their world class

Copán Ruins, Honduras
Sculpture at the Acropolis The kings of Copán in northern Honduras make the House of Windsor seem very boring and commonplace – what exotic names they have: King Waterlily Jaguar, Moon Jaguar and Smoke Imix (Jaguar), the wise and powerful king who built Copán into a military stronghold around 690 AD. Smoke Shell, the 15th

Episode Two: London Taco Bell, Knock-Knock Jokes and Lawrence of Arabia We are almost to London. The excitement on the plane is obvious as everyone shuffles about and wipes themselves down with the moist, microwave-warm hand towels provided by the airline.
