Hi people, I'm starting my traveling in early June!

Was just wondering if anyone could give me a bit of advice? I need to get from Bangkok to Hanoi and was wondering the best way to go about it?

Thanks

Regards

I really want to hit NZ for about 4 weeks, and will either do the adrenaline tour with "xtreme gap year" or the 3 weekish one with STA. Not really sure what to do after that...

I'm guessing you're heading to Borneo? If so, are you going through an organisation; such as Raleigh International?

I am taking my A levels in a year and then going to China to study chinese for 6months as well as work in a law firm.

How are you studying chinese in China? Is it with a company?

Hi guys did anyone do retakes in their gap year by any chance? Because I have and the thing is my college can only give me my results by 10am on results day!! What if I need to get into clearing?! I could miss out on a course that I want to go on and I wouldn't even know! Any help on what I could do?

Hola amigoos!

Just got back to the UK and reality after a epic trip out in Buenos Aires, can safely say that its one of my favorite places in the world. So many things make this city great be it the food, women, wine, or footy. They've got all departments covered nicely!

Before embarking on this trip (my first solo) was slightly hesitant as to what to expect, safety in S.A. and what I could really draw from it to possibly add to a CV. However all these hesitations floated away. Got involved with a sporting opportunities program where I was coaching at famous football club in the city. Met some absolute top notch lads who gave me a cool argentina experince outside of the hostel scene, had a good support network if needed, and a tidy reference on the CV. Along with this I stayed at the famous Milhouse Hostel/nightclub possibly the best I've been too, with many epic but distorted memories! Overall message if you have any doubts about going travelling solo I wouldn't worry to much about it, however it is good to get involved with a program which gives u a bit more purpose and solid networks.

Buena Suerte
