How do I plan a trip around the world?
Where to begin? Do you want to see every single continent? Just one continent in great depth? Just one country in great depth? Travel is our favourite thing on the planet, but to plan a trip around the world involves many potential logistical headaches. That's why we make exploring the world easy, with food, accommodation and transport included in the cost of your trip.
How do you plan a world tour?
You do some research on the places you'd like to visit and how much time you'd like to see them all in, then you think about your budget. Traveling the world can be expensive, so it's good to prioritise stops you want to make and think about the best time of year to go.
How much does it cost to travel around the world?
There are many variables to consider for your around the world trip. When you go, where you go and what you do when you're there - no to mention transport, food and accommodation - can all add up to significant sums if you're looking to hop from continent to continent. It can cost around 4000 dollars per month to travel the world if you're really doing it on the cheap. That's why, with us, you get food, accommodation and transportation all included in the cost of your trip, so you can keep a lid on expenses.
How much is a round the world ticket?
A round the world ticket can range wildly, between $1500–$20,000 dollars depending on your flight's mileage, your route, whether you're flying economy or not, and the number of stopovers, though a simple two to four stop around the world ticket might cost as little as $1,500.
How much is a round the world trip?
It depends on where you want to go and what you want to do. The word is a big place, and there are many logistical challenges to overcome, including transport, food and accommodation. That's why our trips include all of this kind of stuff in the price, as well as unique experiences and a group of young explorers to share it all with.
