Tour du monde en voilier

Preparation for a Trip Around the World Preparation for a Trip Around the World It’s very different to talk about traveling around the world than it is to give notice at work and really do it. Once the decision and commitment are made, things fall into place…with the help of many “to do” lists and excel planning spreadsheets. How long do you need to save for a trip like this? That depends on your rate of savings and travel style (which directly affects budget). Money aside, expect to spend 3-6 months planning and preparing. Planning itinerary - Read travel and around-the-world advice books - Talk with friends with extensive travel experience - Network with people you know or friends know in the countries you want to visit - Research online – travel websites, travel community message boards, travel articles.
