I had various pieces of advice about planning this trip: don’t buy all of your legs, go here, don’t go there, blah blah blah. Ultimately, for me, it made more sense to buy most of my trip in advance because most of the places are far apart, I don’t like the feeling of completely flying by the seat of my pants, and I’m meeting several people at various points in the trip. Whether or not I did it the best way, here’s my itinerary:
April 24th: land in Lima, Peru
via land to Cuzco, Machu Pichu, and La Paz
May 10th: fly from La Paz, Bolivia to Santiago, Chile
via land to Mendoza, Bariloche (?), and Buenos Aires
June 7th: fly from Buenos Aires, Argentina to Sao Paulo, Brazil
trip to Iguazu Falls (?) then via land to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
June 29th: fly from Rio to London
seeing family and friends!
July 4th: fly from London to Lisbon, Portugal
seeing one of my favorite clients!! :)
July 10th: fly from Lisbon to Tel Aviv, Israel
via land to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea
July 16-17th: fly from Tel Aviv to Mangalore, India
via land to Goa and Hosapete
July 31-August 1st: fly from Mangalore to Bangkok, Thailand
** this is the one major spot where I have no flights booked but I’ll obviously be traveling around. Hopefully I’ll be able to explore Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia.
October 4th: fly from Denpasar, Bali to Melbourne, Australia
