    Awesome! No you don't. Passport Issued!!

    And since you are almost at 40 days, once you reach 40, you can watch one video each for the first 4 countries (Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra) and then post a report for only Andorra and you can jump in there. Or, if you prefer, you can start from scratch at Afghanistan. It's up to you. After that, you will need to post for each country as you earn the 10 days.

    Congratulations and welcome aboard!
     
  2. Got back from a weird adventure in Australia. I drove the length of the Great Ocean Road, saw some kangaroos, stopped for some food in Melbourne, then got lost in Blue Mountains National Park for several days, where I saw the famous Three Sisters rock formation. I was hoping for a jam session with the Finn brothers, but found out they live in New Zealand.
     
  3. It's a day one for me. Only and again a day one. But I'll watch something about Albania already now :)


    I downloaded so much info about Afghanistan lol
    But then my travel story was a bit random.

    So next time I want to do these steps:
    1. Impression (videos, pictures) and collecting info material (but I shouldn't overdo it with gathering info)
    2. Then I should really write some facts down to learn something
    3. Decide for a route and places to visit (again: don't overdo it)
    4. Visualize Journey
    5. Write story
    All advice welcome! :)


    But I want to add that my first trip was really something special for me. It felt amazing. Also I connected to strong emotions.

    By the way
    that video was amazing, beautiful and relaxing!

    YESS!!!! Love the Great Ocean Road!! And gotta love those kangaroos. Hope you brought your boxing gloves. It'll be a while before anyone travels to New Zealand, but I'm sure the Finns will be there waiting for you.

    I'd recommend against watching anything about the next country before you've reached your 10 days. It's starting to reward yourself for something you haven't achieved yet.

    Hmm not bad. Very thorough and detail oriented. For me, I will watch just one or two videos, and take mental notes about interesting things I would want to add in the post. Then I go and make the post. Once that's done, I will watch videos on my own over the next 10 days in a normal way, without having to worry about specific information to remember. But of course everyone is free to approach this however they like. As long as they're not just making up random stuff on their own or copy/pasting, any approach is fine.

    That is excellent. Exactly the way it should be. At best case scenario it should be extremely rewarding and feel like a real trip. So maybe whatever method you are using now is working well enough, and there is nothing you need to change.

    And yes, that Wakhan Corridor video is magic! I really want to do that in real life. I have some American friends who did it, and they loved it.
     
  6. Ok, I didn't think of that. So I'll wait.

    This video is amazing! Thanks for that icebreaker. I have added it to the Bulletin Board on the main post (#1). I feel like this sums up what travel should be about.
     
  8. Appreciated. I feel honored ^^

  9. Getting on board the flight to Albania...

  10. Here’s what I learnt from my trip to Albania – firstly, no-one knows where it is (north of Greece, east of Italy); it’s a tourist destination – (largest city Tirana) with paradise beaches, history, interesting food, culture etc, at reasonable prices; the people are friendly and speak good English; it was Communist until about 30 years ago, not so now. Despite all these lovely things, the young Albanians would prefer to be elsewhere, earning more money. Oh, and the “Top Gear” guys alluded to the number of Mercedes cars and to corruption… but all in all, a thumbs up! #dosomethingdifferent

    Excellent! Glad you had a rewarding trip. Albania is definitely something different. Gotta get there in real life before the rest of the world catches on to it!

    It's raining outside my window here at home, which feels strange after my trip to Botswana. Botswana is a country the size of France in southern Africa which has large portions of desert. Drought is a constant problem, and the blue sections of the national flag (which make up most of it) represent water, which is something Botswanans never take for granted. It has one of the lowest population densities in Africa, and is mostly natural. Safaris are a big thing there. The white population of Botswana is growing, thanks to refugees escaping racial persecution from Zimbabwe. It is a very peaceful, beautiful and stable place, and I felt sad leaving.

    What's up everyone. I'm super happy to have stumbled upon this thread as it seems like the exact type of motivation I need during my rebooting. I'm at day 9 of no pmo at the moment, which means that if my passport gets issued (I did watch the video) I can already go on my first trip tomorrow! Very exciting! Because good lord, I really need a trip, I'm getting sick here at home...

    G’day mates. Australia! The vacation I always wanted to take a teen. They ran commercials and I ordered their free (and probably very expensive to print and mail) this book.

    I wanted to see something I diddnt know about on my trip so I took a hike down the Great Ocean Trail in Victoria. It’s a good sample of eucaliptus Forrest and landscapes for like 102 Km but the real highlight is the different views along the coastline of The 12 Apostles. They are big lime stone formations rising from the ocean in a totally picturesque setting. There is a nice beach and a short cliff behind it offering perfect views.

    Crikey! What's her name? (Sorry mate, just my sense of humor)

    Great stuff man. Yes, the Great Ocean Road is spectacular. Saw it about 15 years ago in real life. Some Aussies I met last summer told me that due to some bullshit (erosion maybe? can't remember the reason) there are less than 12 apostles now. Nothing lasts forever.

    Congrats on your trip GBF, and your latest installment of 10 days! Travel Board Updated!!

    We have also issued your ticket to Afghanistan. The flight should be comfortable since the middle seat will be empty due to coronavirus concerns.
