V INFORMATION
Round the world (RTW) tickets are getting cheaper as the airlines compete in a cut—throat battle for passengers. Rather than flying with empty seats, they fill them with budget
travellers, even if a few of
them could do with a shower. They represent amazing value; often an RTW ticket will cost little more than a return to a single destination on the route. We give examples
' of typical prices and _ destinations provided by . some specialists on this
type of travel. All routes start from and return to
I London. Prices may vary
at different times of the year

overland. I took about £l500 with me i but I worked in a bakery in Sydney for
five months to save more money.
It‘s easy to lind accommodation because of all the backpackers‘ hostels. and you meet a lot of people there too.

face. It‘s quieter than Thailand but it‘s
becoming more like it with massive all- night parties and people getting wasted on the beaches.
I did go to Thailand -— Bangkok is the mad place you expect — but I also went trekking in the north. Then I flew to Ilong Kong before heading to Beijing because I wanted to travel back to Europe on the Trans-Siberian Express which was a good laugh.
