first and last backpacking trip..to much?
30 days alone, i want to do thailand, nepal, czeck, italy, turkey, greece, spain, amsterdam and maybe london.
I'm worried this is going to be to much traveling, money isnt an issue. Do you think just doing 30 days SE Asia? is a better idea? or 30 days only Thailand? Most likely I will never be able to do another backpacking trip after this one. And i can't take off more then 30 days of work.

Re: first and last backpacking trip..to much?
its hard to see much of any country in less than a week other than looking out the window of a bus.
plus do you want to spend alot of your time just traveling between countries. pick your favorites in order that are close by and go from one to another till you run out of time. this way you get the best of it all.

Re: first and last backpacking trip..to much?
This is pretty ridiculous. Maybe if you had a year that list would be more reasonable. I would stick to a general area:
Thailand (and if you want) Laos/Cambodia/Vietnam etc (but probably just Thailand) Nepal/N. India Turkey/Greece etc. 30 days is not long at all and your list takes you around the world. This really wouldn't be enjoyable IMO.

Re: first and last backpacking trip..to much?
Why last?
Are you dying or something? You can still travel as you age. Also, trying to see an entire Hemisphere in one month is insane. 30 days in SE Asia is definitely doable. You won't be able to see everything, but will get a good feel for the region.

This is a big reason I may never get married / have another long-term girlfriend.

Re: first and last backpacking trip..to much?
How about finding a girl that likes to travel? Is there a reason it has to be alone?

[/ QUOTE ] 30 days is a long time to be gone. going away for an annual trip with the guys for a week or so (which any reasonable girl would be cool with) is a lot different than going away for a month, which many girls would not be ok with as something you do every year. I mean, it just depends on how important traveling is to you. if it's pretty clear during your first months of dating that being gone for a month every so often is something you need to do (and she isn't into it) than she should be ok with it. but if all of a sudden when you're 32 and you're like "honey I'm going to start being a traveler and be gone for a month every year" I could see most girls being uncool with it
