WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
In 2019, Jackie’s older siblings, Erin and Matt, took a trip to Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. They were both in their twenties and just had quit their jobs. They took the risk and spent 2 moths backpacking the other side of the world. Back at home, Jackie would follow their trip on TimoTravels.
They were our inspiration for almost all of the countries on our trip. Though we always looked at their trip with such amazement , we never thought one day we would do it.
HOW DID YOU PLAN THIS?
FLIGHTS
For all of our airfare, we used Airtrecks. This company makes planning muti flight travel so easy. They specialize in a personal one on one meetings where they arrange the best route for you. The company also focuses on providing you with the best deals.
LODGING / ACTIVITIES
Besides taking tips and recommendations from Jackie’s siblings, we also reached out to family friends who’ve visited for more.
Besides hearing from word of mouth, we researched numerous travel books, blogs and magazines for more activities and accommodations.
DID YOU NEED ANY SHOTS?
Yes, it is important to take precaution when traveling to areas that are known to carry dangerous illness. We both underwent a series of Japanese Encephalitis, Tetanus, and Typhoid vaccines to ensure a safe and happy time!
HOW ARE YOU PACKING FOR THIS?
We have deiced to go the backpacking route. Although this will be a struggle (mostly for Jackie) it is the most practical. We will both bring a 40-50 L backpack for our clothing and a personal backpack to strap on our stomach. While, we won’t be able to bring a lot, we will be able to fit all we will need!
