This board made me realize I'm not putting my Neetbux to good enough use. I have no obligations and I have time and money. Why not take such a trip? The dates in the itinerary are just an idea, so far only Korea and Thailand are booked. Any suggestions on the itinerary? Places I should spend more or less time in? Off-the-beaten-path places that are worth seeing? I prefer avoiding tourists, Dubrovnik looks cool but really I'm only going there to rent a car to be able to drive through the balkans. Zagreb to Rome would be by train.I plan to rent a car in both Kazakhstan and Georgia to see the countryside. Traveling with wife so not interested in nightlife or sex tourism stuff. We like agritourism and wine regions. Rome is not a hard finish line, might continue after that. This is an itinerary in progress.
Europe leg detail view. I believe I can do this entire trip for ~$10k USD total for two people. Flight back to Japan might push it a little over.
Georgia is decent if you like wine regions, consider that driving standards are not what you are used tonot sure what your kazhakhstan plans in 7 days are, if you travel by car youd have to push a lot of km per day, but desu ive never been therebangkok seems quite long with 10 days if youre not into nightlife - or are you traveling there as well?europe seems mostly fine, i found 1 day is completely enough for mostar, the interesting parts are tiny (but very nice), although very touristysarajevo depends on whether you like history, if not its entirely forgetable i kinda doubt the trip will be below 10k for 2 persons to be honest
>>2886087it's retarded to travel for 3 days per place. better off doing one place for 3 months if your time horizon is 3 months
>>2886096>bangkok seems quite long with 10 days if youre not into nightlife - or are you traveling there as well?I will probably visit more than just Bangkok, but I also have friends there and some affairs I need to take care of. I'm worried ten days might not be enough actually. BKK is charming and even without nightlife I find it an endlessly fascinating city.>i kinda doubt the trip will be below 10k for 2 persons to be honestYeah reasonable, 10k is probably a bit overambitious. Pricing out the flights, I found good nonstop options on non-LCC airlines from BKK to Almaty to Tbilisi to Dubrovnik for ~$900pp. That leaves $8200 for a couple months of slow overland travel and less expensive balkans hotels. Everywhere but Italy and Croatia, looks like decent hotels can be had for ~$80 a night. Car rental+gas will probably be another $2k.>>2886108I completely agree with this, and if I find some charming area I'd like to spend a week+ in, I'm keeping plans flexible enough to account for that. That said, places like Venice and Florence seem like tourist hell and I don't think I'd enjoy more than a couple days in those places. Some places I like to linger in and explore, but I also enjoy journey traveling, where being on the move is the point.
