1 year! - world wide - tips and advice needed

[raysen]

Okaies, You may have seen my last thread in a debate about weather me and matt (my boyfriend) should move in together or should we travel..

(I think you may like our descision)

WE ARE TRAVELLING FOR A YEAR!!! WOOOOO

Anyways here are the list of places we ideally would like to visit - although going to do research into some coz not sure how safe someplaces are.

So it's not dead set in stone or anything but I would like your advice about what to see . where to go in countries or if you think they should be avoided - how long you may recomend to stay there for etc etc :D

In no particular order we would like to go

America (Amtrack pass again had such an amazing time last time)
Australia (Maybe rent a car for a while?)
NZ(Visiting a friend in Wellington)
Canada
Alaska (visiting a friend in anchorage)
Thailand
China
Alot of Europe (get the train around here and ideally fly home from Prague as it is a nice cheap place to end with :D )

Eygpt (although been hearing stories from people who have been about bad illnesses - going to and from toilet if you get me drift hehe)

South Africa (are there any 'less' dangerous places there? Matt has a friend who has moved over there, not sure where exactly, but it seems pretty shady nd I have a friend who moved from south africa a few years back)


Um Not sure where else. Oz, NZ, USA, want to spend alot of time in these places)

Anyways

Tips advice, warnings all welcomed
