I’m so ready for this trip to begin, but there are some loose ends to figure out, like where we are going! Most of the trip is set in stone, but we’ve made a few tweaks, mainly to simply the trip. We dropped South Africa altogether as it’s the rainy season in Capetown. Even though we’re still moving fast, this means fewer flights, fewer stops. Here’s our plan:

Week 1: Hong Kong

Weeks 2, 3: Burma

Weeks 4, 5, 6: Thailand

Weeks 7, 8, 9: New Zealand

Week 10: Singapore

Weeks 11, 12, 13: Nepal

Week 14: Dubai, Kazakhstan

Week 15: Kazakhstan

Week 16: Prague, Czech Republic

Week 17: Vienna, Austria

Week 18: Slovenia

Week 19, 20: Croatia

Week 21: Montenegro

Weeks 22, 23, 24, 25: Turkey

Weeks 26, 27: Namibia

Weeks 28: Vic Falls Area (Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia)
