12 Months of SOLO TRAVELLING Around the World [My Adult Gap Year]
A look back at the most amazing year of my life, when I solo travelled around the world for a whole year.
What's it like to travel the world for 12 months?....In short, it's INCREDIBLE, but almost impossible to describe to people.
I travelled with only carry on luggage and went to 24 countries across 4 continents. The lengths of my stays in a country ranged anywhere from 3 days to 6 weeks.
I only had a basic idea of where i wanted to visit on my backpacking trip around the world so most of the route was made up completely on the fly.

From South America to South East Asia, Sri Lanka and India to Eastern Europe, I really got to see the wor...

      It depends on what you're into really. East Java is very different to Bali. Mount Bromo, Tempak Sewu waterfall and Mount Ijen are all well worth seeing imo. Depends how much time you have as well. If you are short on time i think you can do a tour to Mount Ijen from Bali.

      Hmm, you don't have a ton of time. The most efficient way to do the 3 places in East Java would be too book a 3 or 4 day tour that takes you to them all. If I remember rightly there are some on the Get Your Guide app. Might be worth a look.

So I felt so sorry even if their approach looks like so friendly. If it felt inconveniently even for a second, I would love to say sorry for the inconvenience. They are just curious.

    Great video! I went to all those places in Feb 2023. I also rented a beach car. Have you learned that Acuario (aquarium) is where everybody takes photos of all the tropical fish and rays because the water is so clear. That's why all the tour boats were arriving there. The small island you walked to is called Haynes Cay. I loved it. I'm surprised you didn't know to wear beach shoes. They sell them and waterproof cell phone and camera protectors at all the small shops where the boats depart, and they encouraged me to have them.

The police in kerala and India are more responsible towards tourists than local citizens. Trust me you can surely get help from Police if you don’t feel safe. Incidents like these if it escalates gets national attention so police will act and will surely help you.
