Has anytone travelled with random people? Like from the get go?
Is it a good idea?
My friends aren't into travelling and have their own thing to do and I wouldn't mind travelling.
I saw a girl's ad for travel partners as she was in the same boat. Been talking ot her and seh seems cool. Seems her cousin and her friend plus another girl who answered the ad wanna go as well so a group if I did go.
Its afair bit off yet, she doesn't want to go till september and its all in the early stages so plenty of time to decide but just wondered what the baord think?

If you talk these things through and get along I see no reason why it shouldn't be an amazing experience.
You should have a bit of a spirit of an adverunter though and be prepared for unexpected things.
And ideally you should meet up beforehand to discuss these things if you don't live too far apart.
meeting up, discussing it through.
whats you advice for budgetting? How much would you ned, minsu flights say if they are pre-paid, for say 6 months travel?
Depends on if your doing all just travelling, or weather you intend to work or not etc etc..
I have a mate who is about to go travelling round the world for 6 months. He isnt going to work and is taking about 10K spending money with him.
You could do it on less though.
I dunno, of the group said they wann apply for a work visa but I wasn't sure about workin gunless I was spending a fair wack of time there. I dunno.
If you really don't get on with the person while travelling just ditch them and hop onto another country.
I'd say go for it.
best or worse experience of my life???
wow.....
would suck to go and then not get on with them tho and then have to split..
not that I was thinking of getting with her or antyhing, even though she is attractive. But I just think it complicates things.
so I may re-think my plans.
I'd do it as long as I've had some sort of informal chat with that person beforehand.
Thanks
Cos he liked Walkin', dude.
