In reply to Loren Vandegrift. Hi Loren! Thanks for reading! The stats are fun, and somehow they make a trip like this seem more doable, instead of less. Now, stop reading and get out there!! Where's your next trip?

Wow Anne what an amazing summary of the trip! As I get more obsessed with the quantified self trend I find the stat tracking fantastic. You’re making me question why I choose to hang in California so much when I should be exploring more of the world!

In reply to LG.

LG! I’m so glad you’re obsessed! 🙂 I will definitely breakdown my budget choices in the FAQs, and I’ll absolutely be addressing your destination related questions in subsequent posts (I’m going to cover each place, I have tons of notes!)
As for packing, I have so many opinions on what I should’ve/shouldn’t have brought along…that post is also in draft form 🙂
The people I met were absolutely the best part of the entire experience. We travel to see all these sights, and they are amazing…but it’s funny how it’s the human connections we make across cultures and experiences that leave the most lasting impression on us.
I could do a post about the books I read…I tried to read at least one connected to each country I visited, so I have a great list to recommend! I bought and was gifted a few “real” books along the way (each was donated after I finished it) but of course my Kindle was what was keeping me warm most nights. Haha.
Be sure to email or comment if I don’t sufficiently answer each of your questions in the forthcoming posts! Thanks for giving me so many ideas of what to share! xo

In reply to Naomi.

Thanks for the questions!
A1: Nowhere.
A2: Everywhere.
I’m just kidding.
I’ll address these in next week’s post! 🙂

I am obsessed with this post! Can’t wait to read more. I am curious to hear about where your money went the furthest, and what you would have done differently or wish you had known about places before you traveled… ie “I wish I would have taken a train vs flying to this place” or “I could have spent $$ more per night to stay in this crazy/interesting place” or “$$ less a night to stay in similar digs” or “I probably could have eaten that food, but was nervous at the time” … “I should/shouldn’t have packed this item.” Also curious to hear about the people you met and what makes a successful lone traveler. What books were you reading? Did you leave them with people along the way or kindle?
Anne, I admire you so much. Thanks for sharing all of this.
xo,
LG
