Ivy Guest	# Posted: 6 Jun 2005 19:54:59 Hi people, I've just recently graduated (in London), and I want to travel by 2007. I really want to travel the world. I don't know where to start. Are there any interesting sites that I can use to get me started. Or if anyone has experience in travelling, i would love to hear your advice. Thanks, Ivy

JaMeZ Moderator Amsterdam	# Posted: 7 Jun 2005 00:21:19 Hello Ivy, The very first step on going travelling around the globe is without a doubt to gather information. So read, read, read, until you can't read more. The Backpacking Information section on this website ( http://www.worldbackpackers.net/info/ ) is a good place to start your reading. There you'll find a broad introduction to living life on the road and the most important preparations before taking off, plus links to other useful websites. There are a select number of websites which are just packed with good & useful info on budget travel / backpacking; I can highly recommend these websites to everyone who's a bit of a newbie when it comes to travelling: - http://www.artoftravel.com - http://www.travelindependent.info These are the most informative places on the web I've found so far. I hope this helps you on your way (literally! ;)). James P.S. Congrats on your graduation! P.P.S. Welcome to World Backpackers!

Dave Guest	# Posted: 8 Jul 2005 12:23:42 Hi Priyesh - I am thinking of travelling via India but have no idea what to expect. Do you have any suggestions of where to stay, what not to miss etc. I think will probably be going to Mumbai, Delhi or both. Thanks, Dave
jenny-lucy Guest	# Posted: 24 Sep 2005 04:45:31 Hi Ivy, i have just spent a year travelling around, most of my time in asia. I really really recommend south east east asia- malaysia and singapore. Malaysia is one of the nicest countries I have ever been to with so many interesting places to visit at very reasonable prices. The best place I went to was sea gypsy village resort, pulau sibu. It was heaven...peaceful with back packing huts right on the beach. Have a look www.siburesort.com and go to the back packers page. good luck with your travels Jenny-Lucy
