hi,

i'm currently toying with the idea of going travelling around the beginning of june when i finish uni, for around 4 months as i'll need to come back for graduation, jobs etc. at the minute i really want to go to australia, new zealand, possibly fiji whilst i'm over there, definitely thailand, mainly the islands (ko phi phi, koh phangan, koh samui), then possibly Africa to volunteer and maybe over to LA. i realise i want to do a lot in a short space of time, so my trip will purely be travelling, seeing sights rather than working!

due to friends commitments and such i'll be travelling alone but the idea of it is daunting so i'd love to know if anybody has a similar idea to me or will be in these countries during this time!

so feel free to let me know :) x

Hi! I'd like to be traveling around these same dates... although are your plan set on thailand and the islands? Mine is more toward central and south america since I'm currently in oregon, and i'm looking for a traveler buddy as well!

Hey! Do you have a specific date you're flying to nz? Because I'm planning on stopping off there but would love to do Australia first. Fiji just looks like such a nice place and I figure if I'm over that side of the world why not :) I'd probably stay in Thailand around 3-4 weeks x

that sounds good! Have you booked your flights through sta travel? I literally have nothing set in stone at the minute because I was originally going to go at the start of next year. But right now I think my plan is Thailand, Australia, New Zealand (with Fiji) then over to LA for a few weeks maybe, so I'll probably book my flights with sta. I've been into an sta travel shop and picked up some books but I need to get some flight quotes. In Thailand I mainly want to island hop after staying in Bangkok for a few days. But I'm flexible, once I'm somewhere I'll probably just go with the flow and just keep within my flight dates! :) x

Hi there Jenna and Jenn, How are you doing? I've planned my trip out for this summer as I will be visiting Thailand, Indonesia and maybe Laos. Seems like we have a lot of similar places in our agenda for thailand. Im leaving on June 22 and have my trip planned like this so far:

23-6 till 26-6: Phuket
26-6 till 01-7: Koh samui
01-7 till 3-7: Phangan
03-7 till 07-7: Bankok and maybe North
07-7 till 12-7 Phuket
12 7 till 16-7 Jakarta
16-7 till 29-7 Bali and surrounding islands, probably Lombok and Gili air
29-7 till 02-8 Jakarta and maybe the thousend islands

If you can add any suggestions or have any idea, if you would like to catch up somewhere along the road, feel free to reply :)
