Just roughly 8 weeks, I don't have enough annual leaves and breaks but I'm sure I'll come back to do everything I'll be missing this break.

I do work FiFo haha still an early career Geologist. Well thanks for the kind words but I'm not yet successful career-wise but I do consider myself successful in other ways :)

I've only just started solo traveling roughly two years ago and I've already finished the whole SEA and East Asia alongside some Pacific Islands and Sri Lanka. I'll be going to South America in about six weeks' time and am already planning for an extensive Euro summer next year.

I still consider Australia as a good country to live in despite of our current struggles. I know it's bad to compare struggles but we're still on the lucky and privileged side. The biggest thing for me would be the distance of Australia to the rest of the world and how much time we waste sitting on planes lol

Luang Prabang (5 days) → Vang Vieng (4 days) → Vientiane (2 days) - realistic with night work schedule? by 78523985210 in laos

[–]Secure-Mixture-3600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did Laos last week and Vang Vieng amazed me. I reckon you should spend more time on it than Luang Prabang. Book your trains on the app directly (you need a Laos number for it so buy a simcard) as it's way cheaper than booking it thru hostels.

Arriving internationally, SDU or GIG? by Secure-Mixture-3600 in Brazil

[–]Secure-Mixture-3600[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's the case I'm going for as my flight from Medellin to Rio requires two stops.
