Travellers

[RappersDelight]

i need some recommendations on what countries to see and visit for when i book my travelling in about 6 weeks, going for about a year after the world cup want some places that are a must?

[Compo]

Any where in the far east is great, but the best is north Thailand, Chaing Mai and Chaing Rai also go up the east coast of Oz but take ur time cuz there is so much to see, and then a week or so getting pissed in Cairns..

Have fun........

oooh im going after the world cup too. im going to get my photo taken in my swindon shirt at every great place.

Im going for a year too. How much dosh are you taking?

I would advise a small island just off Tenerife called La Gomera. If you stayed very briefly would be great. YOU CAN GO IN THE RAINFOREST!!!

Always wanted to do that

[Onion_Jimbo]

i dont think people generally go travelling to Tenerife

[oxford_fan]

i'd say the best way to pick places to go is to look at a globe and read a little about countries that appeal to you

[yeo]

They should.

I've got 5k in premium bonds, £1500 in an ISA and roughly £3000 in my bank. I'm paying £500 a month into a savings account for exactly a year (fixed interest rate so cant take any out till a year is up).

but im going to world cup for 2 weeks which will cost me quite a bit.

Croatia is wicked! the people are great!

.

is that £500 a month on top of what you've already got or including it?
i've been saving £200 a month for a fair few years now!

On top of it. Made my first payment december 10th so I will have to pay 2 more payments after I leave... which is a bit crap. but i just couldnt turn down the 10% savings account.
