Have you ever wanted to go on a round-the-world trip? Sounds exciting, but a bit overwhelming—right? From deciding when and where to travel to booking airfare and budgeting, there’s a lot that goes into planning these once-in-a-lifetime trips, but with this guide, it will be a bit easier. Here’s what you need to know before you set off on your round-the-world trip.
How Long Do You Need?
The minimum time you need for a round-the-world trip is 10 days, and that’s jampacking everything into a really tight schedule. You really need at least two months, but ideally between six months to a year.
When Should You Travel?
Figuring out when to travel really depends on what you want to do most. Keep in mind, the weather will never be perfect for all your stops, but city sightseeing can be done year-round and outdoor adventures require good weather. In addition to the weather, research when the must-see attractions are busiest and try to avoid these times if possible.
Where Should You Go?
The cheapest and classic round-the-world tickets go between London, England, Bangkok, Thailand, Singapore, Sydney, Australia, and Los Angeles, California. For smaller cities, the ticket prices will be much more expensive.
