Where should you be going?

You probably have a good idea of where you are going already.  But this should be decided in conjunction with your budget and how long you have to travel.

Whilst you are deciding upon your destinations, of course chat to as many friends as about where you are going.  You can read up about possible budget travel destinations through the internet and guide books.  There are many options for finding what is out there and the exciting possibilities to discover.

Time of year

The climate and time of year you are travelling to a particular destination can have a large impact on your enjoyment of the trip. It may be too cold/hot, peak tourist season or you could be caught in monsoonal rains.  There’s no point planning to go to the beach when it's going to be rained out!
