Long-Term Travel Planning Directory

The Best Long-Term Travel Itinerary in the World?

Keeping our upcoming RTW trip a secret for the last 2 1/2 years has been one of the most difficult things that we have ever done. There were many days where we just wanted to announce it to the world but kept it secret for this very moment.

Planning for it? Well, that’s the easy part!

Since we couldn’t talk about our itinerary until now we had to put our energy elsewhere, and researching the world’s best destinations has been it. But now that our intentions are out, lets get into the fun stuff.

After many hours of research into where we want to go and the logistical issues of making it happen, we have put together an amazing list of destinations we’d like to visit over the next year and a half. We’re not buying a RTW plane ticket or booking many guided tours as of yet, so our itinerary could be open for change at any time. But what we do have in mind is a great target to start with!

So let us take you into our plan; the RTW itinerary to end all RTW itineraries!

Planning Services for RTW Travel - Living the Dream

Since founding Living the Dream we’ve been on two long-term trips and have had three staff members go off on year-plus journeys of their own around the world. Over that time you can say we’ve learned a thing or two about what is essential in preparing a long-term travel packing list.

In the past, we’ve all published our own personal vacation packing lists for our different journeys, but we want to go further than that today.

You see, these lists are great snapshots as to what we’ve personally chosen to take on our own long-term trips, but they do not get into the details of why we chose an item, why they are important to have, and most importantly, what you need to consider before buying them, too.

To help fill the gap, this travel packing list guide was born!

Oh job interviews. Some people hate them while others, like myself, thrive in them. After getting back from our long-term trip, Angie and I began looking for jobs in our respective fields and we knew that accounting for our career break was something that we were going to have to talk about with just about everyone we spoke with. But what we didn’t anticipate was just how wide the question types would be. From the standard and predictable to the down right weird and off the wall, we quickly realized that we had to be prepared for just about anything.

The following are eight of the favorites that we have encountered.

Before heading off on our 15-month long-term trip, I had traveled quite significantly with not even a blip on the trouble radar. Where this may give some travelers a false since of protection, I follow enough blogging friends who travel full-time to know one simple truth: the more you travel, the odds of something bad happening go up.

This may happen to you on the very first day, six months down the road, or not even for several years. Regardless of the answer to “when,” odds are with you that at some point in time trouble is going to find you.

On this long-term trip we had trouble find us quite a few times, and I am incredibly grateful to have had the foresight to buy long stay travel insurance from World Nomads. Reviews said they were great in filing a claim, and we have to say, in the end they really saved the day.
