Who has not thought at least once in your life to drop everything and embark on a long journey, perhaps of 1 whole year?
I think about every day ... and one day I will (say it all, right?).
Meanwhile I want to share with you some tips to achieve the dream.
... Starting at the end! That is the moment we have now decided to leave, and we just need to figure out how to organize them.
The chapter "Before starting" will follow shortly, and will discuss the ways in which to leave for work, home, family ... not to take a road of no return :-)

UNSCHEDULED
E 'need to avoid the classic danger of being caught along the long way of preparation in the brambles of life: a good job (there's always when you leave), a new love, illness, financial problem.
Or the pressure to increase the family that suffers at this time knowing that you will go for a while '. Or you get used to this feeling of "I'm leaving." And fear. Better prepared, more pictures things, the more you are afraid, at least six supported by those around you because they want to leave. So ... share soon. Life likes to be taken so suddenly, without reflection, with passion.
CHOOSE DURATION AND DESTINATION
1) Decide where you want to go
There are approximately 194 nations in the world but I would say that you can restrict, to begin in two areas: the South East Asian ol ' South America
are both cheaper and easier to turn and there are many other long-term travelers around.
South America is more dangerous, but if you do not speak English well you do the same and is also more festaiolo.Il Southeast Asia costs less, is safer and more exotic.
said, there are the easier but more expensive than Australia, green New Zealand, Central America and the Caribbean and so on.

do not know what to choose? Get a ticket to Bangkok and you're done. From there, go anywhere!
1) How long
The instinct is to leave and give up everything, I know. But there are risks.
We share that, you're three months away, you realize that is not for you. You feel lonely. Do not you have fun. You can not go home. She had broken the boxes for a year talking about this trip and now back again?! It will also be without a job and money in your home that you say "now put your head in place and found a job." You'll cry.
So low profile. Parts and parts for a little early. One year is fine for a year you can also ask the expectation, and there's nothing definitive
And above all there can be a fairly painless return.
TAKE THE TICKET
TAKE THE TICKET
Only one condition: get it open, even if you want to be away only three months. Why
3 months if they go in an instant. Arrivals and you're ready to go home. And yet too much to see and do.
In fact, the real open ticket is very expensive and does not take herself. It is technically without a ticket return date fixed in advance. Get instead a ticket with return date set at 6 or 12 months and the ability to change the date for free or on payment of a penalty is not excessive.

DO INSURANCE COMPANY
would be rather inconvenient to be locked into a health problem or a bad episode in the middle of your fantastic journey.
Choosing your destination, consult your doctor
Among the basic vaccinations include those against hepatitis A, tetanus, polio.
For some destinations, you will be advised to undergo prophylaxis against hepatitis B, meningitis, rabies, typhoid and malaria.

I, but this is very personal habit, I never made any vaccination (except yellow fever) even for Tanzania (country where malaria is endemic), Laos, and other so-called goals at risk.
But, I repeat, is a personal choice. Only advice not panic. Respecting the most basic health normal rules will not have any problem.
In any case do not forget to ask the ASL an international vaccination certificate, which will list which vaccinations you have had. The certificate is essential for the countries in which it is obligatory to prophylaxis against yellow fever. BUDGET
do not need a bank account for hypertrophic Adventure. Rather than paying attention to the savings, you need to sharpen our wits.
accommodation can reduce the costs of accommodation booking last minute or by negotiating directly with the hotel (if they have many rooms available, they are usually willing to lower prices). Or book by internet, there are often special rates.
Find a hotel only once on this site is another way to save money.
You can exchange your home with that of someone who lives in the destination that you want to visit or enjoy the comfortable art of couchsurfing. How to move
Every country has its peculiarities, but usually move by bus is very econmico everywhere. Then choose between train and plane, always looking for low cost rates.
Keeping
You can decide to do some work on site, a "season" in some resorts (they'll always find someone in need of a native Italian).
You can become a tour guide. It is not an overpaid job, but please note that accommodation, travel and meals (sometimes) will not be charged to you. Agencies such as Explore Adventure Holidays regularly take people as tour guides throughout the world.And possible to apply online.
can be a waiter, working pair in a family, test your arms in a farm or join the crew of a yacht.
Teaching Italian abroad (have an idea at this website: http://www.euroguidance.it/ ) or better yet invent a job online.
DOING THE BACKPACK
Their only light luggage!
A good checklist of things to bring can be a great tool, but do not overdo the details .
Their only light luggage!
A good checklist of things to bring can be a great tool, but do not overdo the details .
Passport (valid at least 1 year), driving license, a flashlight, a dictionary, a book (we'll then book-crossing), a lonely planet guide the country from which you decided to start, chargers and adapter for your high-tech items, a little bulky camera, pen and paper, sleeping bag (it becomes a sheet in hotels with fleas!), costume (you never know ... a spa pool is everywhere), sunscreen, mini hair dryer, some medicine. The rest you can find it on the road.
The world is everything, even a toothbrush!
As for the luggage ... I always suggest the pack compared to the case (it upright or not!).
In terms of ergonomics, if done well, even helps to take the correct posture, and then allows you to keep two hands free, and believe me, it is important ;-)
the fateful first day of travel
The first day is crucial, is the most delicate stage of the journey, why are you still without a clam shell and the smart ones know, going to lie to their airports .
Upon arriving at the airport (or station, or port ..) trying to get to your accommodation healthy, safe and with full wallets.
So before you start you have to know where you gonna sleep at least the first night.
Pick a place that allows the booking and reservations.

Then:
- Without explaining how to get from the airport and if there are dangers.
- On the Internet looking for advice from other travelers in relation to your destination.
- If it's risky, maybe see if you are to take those of the Guest House.

In short, this delicate stage prepare them well.
TO COMPLETE
If the money ends, the works.
If you can not find work, come home and work and then leave.
Maybe make a season. Maybe flaw here and abroad that you're back on the road. What matters
is that you left. Your brain is restarted, you can even afford to stop for a bit, but not standing still.
And finally, before you leave, remember that "people do not travel, I travel that people do." (John Steinbeck)
