Round the World 2017 – How it began

Late in 2016, I started this blog with my first article, a very short reflection that I hoped to travel around the world in 2017 and that Argentina was high on my list, due to this photograph. I knew a little about Round the World tickets and had a lot of planning to do.

The Planning Process

My plans came together when I was house sitting in the South of Spain for friends who were on a glamorous honeymoon. I sat down with some blank sheets of printer paper. Certain locations were definite: I needed to get to South Africa for some research for a Masters degree that I was completing. I would use that as the staging post to get to South America (which I had never visited before) and then go on to New Zealand, Australia, China, Japan, India, the UAE and back to Ireland.

I did a HUGE amount of research into which kind of ticket I should buy, from where and – very importantly – which airport to start the ticket from… that blog, the 7 Secrets to Round the World Ticket Planning is available here.
