Sounds great so I hope you have a fun and nice trip. Stay safe.
I live in France and would offer help if you needed but if you're visiting a friend you should be covered ;)

Not planning on working, but we have places to stay on a couple legs of the trip. We've also paid for most of the flights and yoga teacher training already. We're pretty good at traveling on a moderate budget. :D

sounds like a thoughtout plan! :) I'm not much of a planner myself; I like to see where the adventure takes me. I do like to have some cash available though because this type of travelling can be very cheap but sometimes also very expensive :)

When you are in France, visit Provence if you have the chance. It's an amazing region!!!

Thanks for the train and hope you have a nice trip!
PS: I'm sure you don't need to be told this, but don't let those blacklists bother you too much. It just happens. I know I get a few every sgtools train from a few sore folks. Honestly the fact that people blacklist for something as simple as not passing an sgtools check is kinda sad.

Thanks. I'll try to let it slide, my first instinct is that maybe I made the rules far too strict.

I envy you :P, five months sounds great. Only place I was from the ones you mentioned, is France, but more in urban areas like Paris or Marseille. Over all it sounds like a great trip you guys put together, so enjoy and have fun :)! Also: bump ;P

So my boss recently approved a 5 month leave from work. My girlfriend was able to receive a similar leave from her employer. I've been wanting to do a prolonged backpacking trip for a long time, so this seemed like a perfect opportunity. I also paid off the last of my massive debt this week. That in itself is a reason to celebrate! Lesson I learned is that credit cards are not the same as cash. :(
Countries we plan to visit so far include India (yoga teacher training for a month), Thailand, Taiwan (to visit the Global Tea Hut) and France to visit friends who own a small farm. If you've ever been to these countries or nearby regions, please share your tales of adventure!
I've put together a train for those interested in following along! Boarding Pass - Gate 22
*Edit I've received several blacklists since posting this thread, maybe because of the sgtools requirements on the train? I'm sorry if anyone is being left out. If you're having an issue getting on board, please let me know. I've already adjusted the requirements once and am willing to do so again.
I added a gift for those who couldn't get past the sg tools check.
*Edit 2 In the rush of packing and getting to the airport I haven't had time to reply to all your comments and suggestions, but rest assured I highly appreciate all the input and thanks! I'll update over the next few days (internet connection permitting) and maybe add another gift or two. ✈️
