01 - Trip Confirmed

Ive just confirmed my flights! I leave on another around-the-world trip March 31st - I fly into Toronto MArch 31st fromf there I'm taking the bus to Quebec, hopefully taking about 3-4 weeks, stopping along the weay. After that I come down into USA via Boston, New York, Philli and then over to Chicago - taking about 4 weeks. Then I take 4 weeks to travel accross to LA and then 3-4 weeks to get to Vancouver and west Canada for a flight out to Sydney.

Ive got a 6 months visa in Oz, but I dont think I'll be able to afford to stay that long so Im going over to New Zealand to see if I can get a job for a year before coming home via India!

If you guys could give me any recommendations on cheap places to stay/ good photo opportunities, I'd be very grateful.

Im also planning on buying a car/van/4x4 in Australia. I start in Melbourne/Sydney and drive over to Perth Via Adelaide, the up To Broome and over to Darwin, Uluru then Cairns where I hope to sell the vehicle.
Taking around 4-5 months in total... if you know anybody that you think would be interested in buying something with me or has a spare seat in their car and would like to share the trip of a lifetime! let me know!

Cheers guys ;)

Fantastic and overly envious, to say the least. I hope your travels are wonderful and full of beautiful, amazing, and perhaps rather interesting shots. Sad to see that you are only traveling through the North East and Western parts of the States. I don't know if you have, I haven't really flipped through your photos yet, but the Southern part of the States have some rather neat sights. Well, I'm sure you knew that already.

Sorry to go on but from one traveler to another, hope its absolutely fantastic.

Jeez man, that's amazing!

I wonder what job are you doing that you can travel that much :D

Well, I can't wish nothing more than good luck for travelling and meeting the right people, and I (as well as other people) am looking forward to seeing pictures from new places around the world :-)

New York and Chicago are nice cities, I've been to both now :aww: (came back today from Chicago... Only two days, not months as you :) )

Take care

Nyyyaaa, you're lucky~! When you come over to LA, you should try photography in Huntington Library. ;3 It's not a "library". I heard it's gorgeous there. You might want to check on the photography rules though. xD In the tidepool parts of Laguna Beach are pretty too. I see a lot of photographers there when I go. x]
