Here is a short article to give some news. The last article was published on February 28th but that does not mean that nothing happened since then, on the contrary! Actually we’ve just been busy!
I can hear you from here, “how are you busy, are you kidding yeah?”

Actually, we are still looking (and even more fervently than ever) for sponsors and scholarships. Our efforts bear fruits slowly. By the way, if you have contacts, tips, ideas or whatever, do not hesitate to let us know.

This summer, we spent our spare time preparing all our visas, and there is still a lot to do. It is particularly difficult for countries like Russia or China since you need to gather  a  large amount of documents together an even worst, they are sometimes not available more than three months in advance, therefore we will have to make them during our trip in cities like Hong-Kong or Delhi.

Moreover, we had to undergo multiple injections to get protected against local diseases such as rabies and other Japanese encephalitis. As always, you must think about your vaccines a lot before the departure date as the queue is long (very long) to get an appointment.

As we are (very) nice, here is a summary of the main guidelines from this article if you’re preparing this kind of journey:

  • Anticipate your visa application, if you need help (and you need help) to deal with all this red tape, be sure to ask organizations like Action Visas, Visa Express, Home Visas and more.
  • Get your vaccines early . You can browse a lot of sites to determine which vaccines are necessary, but your GP will often advise you. It is highly recommended to go through a specialized structure, simply call (many now offer a faster Internet registration) the passenger service of your local hospital to obtain a consultation, you will be well supported, advised and your vaccines will be administered at a great price.
  • Finally, there are many types of “world tour tickets”: some work through miles, through areas or through the number of steps while some work independently of all these criteria. Many companies now offer world tour tickets, they work in alliances: Star Alliance Around the World, One World. Other companies are specialized in personalized World Tour tickets: Connoisseur’s Travel, Travel Nation, Trail Finders.

Know that it will often be very advantageous to go through an English agency imposing a departure from London.
