outta ere
I've just about sold everything I own and looking to head off round the world at age 34. Never been overseas in my life apart from a cruise to NZ once but after the death of my dad a couple years back I'm just lost for anything in life and decided this is what I want to do with my life... go travelling, backpackin, hiking, adventuring
No idea what I'm in for so signed up here for some insight/advice for first timers. Looks like a good forum/
Cheers
BenJ

Welcome and good luck! Any particular locations you are looking to head off to see? Asia, Europe, Africa, etc.
Definitely a wealth of knowledge around these forums.

Welcome to the boards, man! I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I know the feeling.
I think sometimes you have to lose yourself in order to find what exactly your purpose in life is again. Backpacking around the world is perfect for helping you find your mojo again.
Have a great time on your travels and keep us posted, bro!
