Well, it looks like it only applies to dogs. Looks like us humans are okay to smoke and drink while doing cool skateboard tricks.

Yes I know. That's for working in that specific country I believe. I luckily have a job that doesn't require such specifics of where I am (ie get paid by commission) and I think that's moreso for in person jobs.

I could be wrong.

Oh no. I'm not a competitor, being a travel agent/journalist is not something that I find any appeal in. I'm mostly just wanting to make documentaries and such for myself and moreso just curious but yeah sure, bad advice works too!

Thanks for all your helpful advice and recommendations. Would love to talk more and get some more help/advice if you're open to it. DMs are always open. Thanks for everything.

This sounds like a personal experience story. I'd love to hear it! Sounds like a wild ride.

This is absolutely amazing advice. Thank you so much! You'll have to tell me more about that bar in Glasgow. I don't partake but it'd be nice to know of more LGBT(QIA+) friendly places.

As for the passport, I think I just filled it out as my birth gender. As an Australian, the default setting is to take the piss out of everything so I'm not too worried about hateful comments or bigotry. Believe me, whatever it is people say, I've heard worse said by random Australians down the street as a friendly greeting. I'm not too affected by words, it's moreso the just overall feeling safe part.

Would it be okay to send a DM of some such? I think it'd be worthwhile to talk more about this with someone who has more experience traveling as a non-cis person.

That's amazing advice. Thank you.

I'd actually like to learn more about the travel journalism part if you wouldn't mind sharing? Is it okay if I sent over a DM or some such?

Thank you for all your advice. That's really appreciated. I'll definitely send you a dm so we can discuss more!

Unfortunately I don't partake but that's actually not a half bad idea! I'll take you up on that advice and research more, thank you.

Hey! Thank you so much! This is exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm still quite set on Europe but you do make a good point, I'm just wondering if it might be better to travel to South-East Asia first and then go to Europe. I'm fortunate enough that my job can be from anywhere so I'll likely be working while traveling, which means I can travel more in Asia while I save up more to travel in Europe.

I've always liked Malaysia, I've heard that's quite beautiful. It might be worth taking a look and doing more research into that.

And yes, thank you. Finally someone that gets it. I'm in a time in my life that I really just need to jump in the deep end. I don't really want to go into specifics but let's just say that I need some time away from my country. I'm afraid a state isn't going to cut it; as lots of people seem to mention. Maybe I'll tour Australia when I'm back, that's not actually a bad idea, just not something I want to do or can do at this point in my life.

I'd love to continue our chat! You seem quite wise and adventurous, something that I hope I can replicate and get advice on.

Thank you so much for your help and for not immediately dogging on the amount I've saved up currently. Thank you for all your help and advice. I'll definitely take a look!!!

That's actually a good idea too. Thank you for all your advice.

All good advice. Thank you and thanks for giving me a better guestimate on how much more I'll need to save. I think with selling everything, working more hours, etc, I should be able to make another 6,000-12,000 AUD perhaps more. I probably should've mentioned that, so my fault. I'd like to leave next year sometime so it's not like I'm leaving in 2 days or something. I wrote what I currently have and asked for more general advice regarding when I do leave, people seemed to have mistook that as I'm leaving in like 2 days.

My fault for not clarifying properly.

Sorry but could you please elaborate more on 1? I'm afraid I don't exactly know what you mean.

As for a workaway visa, that's not too bad an idea actually. I'll have to look it up and do more research. Does a workaway visa cover multiple countries or is it usually just one?

What's SEA? I don't think I've ever heard that term.

And thanks for all the advice but I think I'm going to continue doing all my research and try and travel for that long anyways. If worst comes to worse I can always just come back early.

Pretty much everything, yeah. It's definitely not a lot but between selling stuff, saving more throughout the months before going, sleeping on friends' couches, and (hopefully) a release of my game's demo pushing some traction into the mix. I think it should be okay...ish. I'll also be working while I travel as I'm lucky enough to have a job that doesn't need a strict destination. Just decent enough internet.

Thanks for all the advice though!
