      Publishing Information

      Introduction

      For many adventurous travelers, a trip around the world is the ultimate travel experience, the dream yet to live. I have lived that dream and I wrote this book to help you plan and realize your grand adventure – an unforgettable trip around the world!

      Let me start by telling you my story...

      I had been dreaming of traveling the world for quite a while. Soon after graduating university, after I had gotten a taste of being in the workforce for a year, I was eager to do some traveling. I guess I wasn't really ready to just settle down to work. Life was screaming for adventure! I wanted to explore the world, not just share a few days of vacation with it.

      I needed to figure out what it was I wanted to do and thought that traveling around the world would offer me the time and breadth of experience to do so. Just so you know, looking back, I wasn't any smarter after traveling and initially I picked up exactly where I had left off. Often in life things don't make sense until later and now, a few years down the road, I can say I would not be where I'm standing now if I hadn't listened to my heart back then and risked taking that step.

      You don't really have too much time to worry during your trip. You enjoy it and just live day by day, until you're back home at the airport and think Now what

      I have never regretted this time for a second and would recommend it to anybody, without reservation: if you ever have the slightest opportunity to take a trip around the world, to spend a year on a working holiday or to take time-out – Just Do It!

      Traveling is very different from going on vacation – a true traveler doesn't have a planned route, nor does he want a destination – as Laotse (Laotse is a legendary Chinese philosopher from the 6th century and the founder of Taoism) so accurately stated. The regular, annual vacation including guaranteed sunshine at the beach and continuous sightseeing bears no relationship to the integrated adventure of traveling. For that reason you won't find a list of sights listed by country in this book. (Check out Lonely Planet, Footprint, etc for that).

      I believe that the meaning of traveling lies rather in meeting the unknown and yourself. It is somehow a journey to the depths of your own soul. While traveling you can question everything, find your own answers, form your own opinions and refute prejudice. Traveling opens your eyes and teaches you to appreciate your own country and culture, among other things. You won't understand the real thrill of traveling until you're on your way. So, start traveling the world and come back with a new perspective! Allow yourself to drift, live one day at a time and most importantly be open to all the new things that your travels will offer every day.

      I started planning my trip around the world eight months prior to leaving. That wasn?t a moment too soon, as I quickly found out, due to the huge amount of bureaucratic involvement. I enjoyed the planning tremendously and it practically catapulted my anticipation to unknown levels.

      After months of organizing and preparation I was finally off to the airport with a friend from university. Equipped with new backpacks, lust for adventure and great expectations we flew into the metropolis of New York. This city impressed me in all its facets, there was so much to discover – I knew I would definitely have to return!

      After a few days we flew to Los Angeles (this is a typical around-the-world-route from Europe) and spent some sunny days there in Hollywood, Santa Monica and Venice Beach.

      Next stop was the Fiji Islands, which made an exciting contrast to the western city hustle and bustle; it was a completely different world. Spending a dreamy week in the South Seas on a little island on the Yasawas (popular group of islands north of the main islands of Fiji), not doing much of anything, was like having a vacation within a vacation. A snorkeling trip to a reef in the middle of the ocean will remain in my memory forever – I had never seen such a colorful, iridescent underwater world, not even at the famous Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

      Since my financial resources for this world trip were limited I had planned on working in New Zealand for a while. Thanks to my (then) 80-year-old grandfather and his openness to the world I was greeted in Auckland by distant relatives who made it easy for me to do so. He loved surfing the Internet to find distant relatives with the same last name and had called foreign embassies and sent e-mails to get in contact with people all over the world who could be even remotely related to us.

      After a few days of acclimatizing with our host family in New Zealand we started looking for work and an apartment in downtown Auckland. We were successful after just one week and moved into a beautiful apartment right on Queens Street, with a fantastic view over the harbor. The only downside was the absence of decent heating in New Zealand homes. Even though temperatures never dropped below 55_F during the winter our apartment was quite cold.

      I had taken a job with an international insurance company while my friend worked for a local government authority. The months in Auckland were intense and gave us a deep impression of New Zealand's culture, way of living and work life. I absolutely recommend their work ethic: the people motivate each other and the atmosphere is loose and friendly, yet still goal oriented – completely different to what I was used
