Here we go asia

Hi

Long time I have not writen cause I have just been working and saving money for trip. Now trip is very near and I continue writing agen. My plane leaves after 3 weeks from now. Only one way ticket cost me 400 euro now cause I reserved it too late. now it seems that my jorney will take 6-12 months and cause I dont like to plan too much I have only made list of countryes where I posibly visit.

Thailand my flight takes me to bangkok and I have 3x90 days visa for Thailand cause I use it as road to other palces.

Laos is probably next one where I travel I'm still not sure if I go back thailand from here or straight to

Cambodia is third one after this I go back to thailand and rest of countryes are litle more dice game right now I'm not so sure how long I stay and where I stay

Malaysia I dont know anything about it but I'm going to check it out and atleast use it to go

Philliphines I think I travel area caled Laguna read some nice things about it from here I probably go back malaysia and from there maby take flight to

Japan is still very not sure cause it is so much more expensive than any other place so it wud and my jorney so I still have to think if I go there ar do I chose difrend road but I'm realy intrested seeing this country. Just I'm not sure if I have to check it out on difrent time

those countryes are in my list now they may change during trip cause like I said I dont like to plan too much before I get to road.

Now just waiting these weeks to go by. It dose feel very slow cause now there is no work in finland so it just good time for me to go. I have done almoust all arangements just one more time I have to go take last vaxine. I start writing more and try ading pictures too when I get on the road

Traveling plan

I realy do not like to plan my trip too much just bigest basics. Meaning I usualy only know country I'm gona go first and countries I posibly visit. Moust I dont want travel with day schechual so that I know before hand when I move on. Moustly just hang in one place and one day just make decicion to leave that day or next.

now my traveling takes me to asia fist stop bangkok after that. I think I go see some my friends in thailand and go visit some new places then I think other countries I might visit this trip are Laos Vietnam Kambodia and india. I'm not going all of them now they are just my posibilities.
I try take so litle back with me that I can take all my belongings inside plane. Other stuff I need I can buy from thailand.

common stuff

Hi I have been couple days away from home. Been working hard every day. I just tought that I write some stuff now cause my minds kind of empty. One thing I have wanted to tell is about my english I know it's far from perfect, but I still want to write english cause that way I learn always something new. I think it's always good thing to educate my self more in many aspects of life. Some do this in school but cause I have skiped school life and goed fast working life. That why I educate my self by reading talking and writing

and I hope to get beater with my writing to cive you beater quality reading. But thats all about that my mind realy empty today realy just wanted to get going soon as posible but still have to work about 3 more months before trip.

thats all for today I try write something beater tomorow :D

Travel contact

hi agen I just got e-mail from couple friends I have in asia. So I tought that I write something about travel contacts. Now days it is realy easy to keep contact all over the world via internet. I think every bodey shud make some friends on theyr jorneys for me it has been realy easy. Usualy I get new friends every day I travel some part time some longer time. It also makes travel easyer it's always nice to go see old friends and ofen they can help you in your jorney.

The travel experience is more fun with some old friends. For me it just hapens that we party too much when we meet :D and then too much money is gone. travel se friends e-mails and msn messages allso keep you nicely in track when you are saveing money for next trip.

Also remember to go see new places it's always nice to see old friends but also experiencing new places while you travel is important too.

travel money

Ok first I cud talk about geting the money together. How much u need depends offcourse where u go how long trip you wana make and how much you move and how much you have to use in home while you are on trip.
to start saving money is good to keep book how much u use daily and in what u use it. you shud make difrence to those things you just have to pay like bills and those you maby not need or you can do with less money.


Big savings come from small things, like if u buy every day 2 cups of cofee whit 1,5$ each it makes 3$ a day and 90$ in month. So when you keep book you find more easyly these things where you can make your savings. Another example you eat lot of outside if you buy pizza 8$ it is not even inaf for you to howl day. But when you go shoping from market with that 8$ you can buy food for many days if u spend it wisely.

Then it is best to open new bank acount where you but the money. Cause I have studied my own spending when ever I get paycheck I know how much I can put in savings acount. This way I dont get any nasty spending whims cause I consider savings acount not spendaple money I see that my credit card acount haves only 100$ so I just have to live with that.

exaple:

david makes 1800$ month

evry mont he pays bills upto 850$

it leaves 950$

he have to use car because hes work he uses 30$ casolin every week

food in work 30$ week

food in home + other home needs 40$

that makes 100$ weekly 400$ month

so david can allways when he gets paycheck put 450$ in savings acount

this was just simple example and it dosent include everything but everybody just have to check theyr own habits of spending money and look where you can save. If you are smoker roll your own sicarets you save lots of money beater stop smoking you save about 4$ a day witch is over 100$ a month

saving is not always fun and easy but if you want live this life style of traveling you just have to deside what is important to you in this life we have.

then how much money is needed for me when i go to asia. I go about 600$ monthly usage there I rent my house here still I have about 400$ I have to put in bills so about 1000$ one month.
these are my personal toghts and ofcourse every bodey have theyr own ways and styles of doing things. I still hope this maby helped some one.

And I'm noticed that after you get hang of it saving money is prety easy and I can save much more every month that I even dreamed of.

next time maby I talk about what to take along with my travels :D have nice day every bodey

Hi all I'm monk

traveling is very close to my heart. Now I'm planing longer trip to asia next fall. In this blog I write about my travels and also share problems I had to getgoing. one issue is offcourse money how to get inaf to travel long time. Almous every body can aford to travel long times if u want it's all about to get over the obstacles that your mind greates. If u wana go you can do it dont run from your dream just get started whit planing and saving money.

So I tell something about my self and why I travel. I'm 22 years old guy from finland I work as electrician in constraction yards. So my paycheck is not so big I allso take loan from bank to buy my own house so I have much bills to pay. Still I can aford traveling for long times. I dont see that money is so big deal but cause some one may wonder how to get inaf I tell some my styles of geting my trveling moneys together layter on. So then to important part why I trarvel.

When I was 18 we made our last family vacation to tailand. It was realy basic family holiday realy nice hotel nice pool where u can sit and drink ur beer was some nice tourist restaurants where u get good food for ur europian taste. well I didint like it so I said bye bye and I wandered off to find my own place where I cud be happy. Then I found litle bungalow 5 dollar a night. There I lived next 2 weeks going around and geting to know local people. I only goed bars that were comon with locals I only ate local food. I made lots of friends and had realy nice 2 weeks.

So that was my fire starter after that I only wana be on move. When I go I like to go alone this dont mean u shud go alone but I like it best cause then u will meet lots of new people and make some good new friends. Traveling whit conpanion you usualy go together and do everything together. Maby good tactic is to invite part time companion like I think to do on next trip
so if I stay going round 6 months in midle you can invite some friends to come and go some time together.

Ok I will be writing here 2-3 times a week tell how my things are going still about 3-4 months before I start my trip I also try to place some tips and also love to get them cause I'm not any pro in this actualy I think u even cant be. Mayby we all are just beginers in front of miracles of this world.

Every body have theyr wings you just have to open them and let the wind cary you.
