My friend did somethign like this, and I disagree with the way she went about it. She went to about 8 or so locations across the world and spent maybe a week in each one. You'll have a much more memorable, fulfilling trip if you spend more time in fewer places.

For example, when doing Europe, why not take a long trip East to West? This will let you go at your own pace and adjust your itinerary as you learn about yourself and your interests.

This way of traveling takes more time and money, but it gives you a much more complete glimpse of the world. It also fits the "adventure" format much closer than taking a flight every week.

I have no time frame though on my trip, I could be gone 3 months, I could be gone a year or more. While Europe sounds very appealing, it is also very expensive compared to south america, thailand, and other regions. Also, does anyone know of a way to generate some form of income besides online poker at internet cafes while traveling? Ive heard of people getting paid under the table for online work (sounds vague I know).
