"Trip of a lifetime."



You could choose to be "Homeless and unemployed" OR "Just Lazy". Either which it wont do you ANY good. That being said, this comic strip reminded me of one thing - Life. We could always be the 1st guy, the 2nd guy or even the people who are already working, employed. But one thing's for sure is that NONE would have the ultimate luxury of time as what im about to blog here. Its gonna be a VERY VERY VERY looooong post. Hang in there. Dont be like the "Just Lazy" guy.


Alright, recently, i was discussing about taking a break/vacation/holiday whatever you call it, from all the hustle and bustle of SG life. So i asked, "What would your favourite holiday be like? And where?". While everyone have their dream vacation and holidays from Hollywood to Mumbai to Hong Kong, I have mine in mind. While everyone have their 3 day holiday vacation break to their month long honeymoon around Europe or where ever, i have mine in mind too.

Now, you might be wondering what would that dream holiday/vacation of mine be. Mine would be nothing fanciful like just going to Paris to buy a Chanel bag or LV suit or some sort like that. Or that kind whereby you go Safari at South Africa for a day or two and go home. Nope. Mine, would blow your mind away.

It'll be a trip to 52 countries/cities. Consecutively. Staying in each country for at least 5 days (plus traveling time, total would be 7 days). That would give me a total of 52 weeks for my vacation. If you do your maths right, it'll be 365 days a.k.a 1 YEAR of holidaysssss. Around the world. Free and easy. I already have the countries/cities in mind. Bear with me here, they are....

Dont you just love this plan? I have the plan, i have the time. All i need now is the money. Now, if anyone is interested in venturing with me in this trip, this DREAM vacation of mine (and prolly yours too) let us pool together our resources and get the best deals in the world for this trip. Let me know if you're interested. We'll definitely work something out, to get the money. Sponsor anyone? Hahaha! Estimated expenditure (air flights, accommodation and all): S$182,000/person. Thats S$15200/mth. S$507/day. Its that cheap!

If theres one thing i know is that, whatever thing in this world that has a price tag to it, it means its achievable. Its only a matter of time. And for all the sights and sounds and people and cultures that i'd be interacting with - priceless. We live life once. This IS indeed a trip of a lifetime.

Just so you know, my targeted date of travel, 010411. 2 years from now. So start saving y'all. (:
