TLindenIsGod Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Russia can be pretty sketchy; however, if you'd like the stamp in your passport you could always go to Kaliningrad. It's in between Poland and Lithuania, and has alot of German and Soviet architecture. Just so you know, Kazakhstan outside of the big cities.. which im assuming you're walking through is said to be more dangerous than Russia.

Mainly Mattias Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 While I admire your dedication, I find it strange that you exclude the Middle East, Africa and Russia from your itinerary yet you place Thailand, China and Argentina as your places to go to. Not all places in the Middle East are dangerous and lots of places in Africa are extremely safe. Russia is absolutely NOT dangerous at all.

Canucksbiggestfan Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Why not check out India and Dubai? Go down to India and check out the Taj Mahal, along with many other places. Check out Dubai because it is a very nice place from what I have heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offensive Threat Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 How you going to pay for this world tour? Mom and Dad got you covered? It sounds cool to say you walked around the world but the reality of actually doing it, without a support van or anything?, is kinda a long boring haul. If its 150 miles to the next town anywhere along the way are you camping it and carrying all your food and water and walking a empty stretch of road for the better part of a week? Town after town. Week after week. Spending almost all of your time on your own in the middle of nowhere just walking.I can see taking a bus from town to town, meeting people seeing the sights, staying in their homes on those exchange deals and crossing the world that way but to walk it....

Ossi Vaananen Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Aside from all the sarcasm in this thread, I really respect what you're doing if you're actually planning on doing it. You've got to check out that place in South Argentina where penguins come up on the beach. I'm curious as to your budget - do you have something put aside or are you just going to tramp the entire thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
