It's September first, and since we are planning on leaving the fourth of October, so pretty much in one month, I think it's time to start sharing the planning of this trip on the blog.
Even thought he journey itself will be long (or so it is planned) our "planning" stage has been a bit longer....
This trip has been planned for nearly 2 years now!
Most of the planning has happened on gmail, where mails with crazy ideas have been sent back and forth between Sophia, Ruut and me.
I wish I could show you all the mails so you could see how the plan we have now has come to be, but there are honestly too many, and reading them would take hours and hours... if not days!
I can, however, mention some of the ideas we had for this trip:
-jump from island to sailboat to island and somehow get from Thailand to India the water way.
-work for half a year at a orphanage in India-take a buss back from India through Pakistan, Iran and Turkey, and then Interrail through Europe back to Finland.
-Visit Lhasa, Tibet, and from there take a train through Kazakhstan and Russia back to Finland.
-work at a farm in Cambodia
-work at a school in Northern Thailand
....I'm pretty sure we've had a lot more of semi-crazy ideas, shot down by parents ("Bus through Pakistan??! Think again Miss!") or ourselves ("Hmm... maybe hitching a ride on a sailboat isn't that good an idea... can any of you guys sail?") but these are some of the ones I remember.
So, after all those mails being sent back and forth, we now have a somewhat clear pictures of the countries we're about to visit, even if specific places and cities is still rather unclear...
...but that's okay, this has been a sorta "go with the flow" -kinda trip from the very start, and we don't mind keeping it that way.
To get some idea of what our trip will be like, please read the description under "What's the plan?".
And... well, welcome to join in with ideas and whatnot for the last month of planning and packing before we leave for our adventure!
