Default How long you been gone?!

What is the longest anyone has gone backpacking?! Starting from when you leave your own bed to the 1st night back in our own(old) bed. Extended periods working/living/traveling in a country are included as time away from home...

In my case, the longest I traveled for was 6 months. This trip was mostly in South East Asia and South Asia, but it started with a two-week stay at a friend's place in Australia. I'm from Canada btw.

5 months. Europe and South America. From Aussie.

But, I'm currently out of the country again, I've been in Canada for 3.5 months and won't return home for 2 - 3 years.

I myself am planing on 4 months. The more I look into it and plan the longer I want to go ha ha. Ill be going solo and it will be my 1st time backpacking, and my 1st experience overseas. Is 4-6 months too long for a 1st timer?
