PREPARATIONS

If I look back I have to say that one of the guilty of this travel is my parents who showed us the experience of TRAVEL and we are very proud of that.

In our case everything started in a travel that we did to Patagonia on January 2005; this idea it was taking form and the final decision was on August of the same year. So we spend more than one and a half year saving money and preparing everything.
To “prepared” it we majority use internet on travel forum or travelers websites…A part of that we bought some maps: Europe, Northeast Africa and Arabic peninsula, Middle east, India, China and Southeast Asia; we marked on them some possible interesting places to go, depending of the different way that we will take.
We have informed of the requirement of each country, to get the visa, to have a general idea because it changes frequently.
Another of our ideas is to travel always with the best weather; stay with good temperature not only is comfortable, we need to bring less staff on the backpack. For that we supposed to be in winter on countries near or below the tropic, and in summer the opposite.
Resume, we have a general idea of each country that we probably will visited; in a big travel like this, more is impossible to prepare. We have to leave almost everything on the hand of improvisation.
