Im going to Inda, Thailand, Malaysia, Oz, New Zealand, Fiji and US. Now the time is approaching Im realiszing I wont have enough funds to see me through and am starting to panic!! Im hoping to find wok in OZ and New Zealand but and afraid £2k wont see me through until I get there!! Can anyone advise? Should I cancel the ticket and wait until Ive saved more money or will the cash I have see me through??

JaMeZ Moderator Amsterdam	# Posted: 14 Oct 2005 14:14:49 I think 2K GBP can take you quite far. How much time do you reckon you're going to spend on the road before getting a job in Oz/NZ? The countries you're visiting first (India, Thailand, Malaysia) are quite cheap. For less than 10 pounds a day you can live a luxurious life over there. Especially if you're keeping big expenses on a low level (transportation, tours, diving, etc.) your budget will go a long way.
