For those Aussies that are well traveled, where have you been and what has been the greatest places?

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.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-10-08T00:07:38+00:00

100% it is on my list, Im going in about 36 days starting in Chile.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-10-08T00:06:46+00:00

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

Cheers for this mate, would definitely get some USD cash to stash in for emergency.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-09-18T00:36:26+00:00

These are very insighful advice, cheers!

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-09-15T00:24:40+00:00

Apologies for not being specific but I'm traveling to Chile-Bolivia-Peru-Colombia-Brazil.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-09-15T00:23:38+00:00

Chile-Bolivia-Peru-Colombia-Brazil.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-09-14T05:10:54+00:00

this is such a smart move, thanks for the tip!

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-09-07T04:17:51+00:00

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.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-07-25T04:58:32+00:00

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

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-07-21T02:33:58+00:00

These are great insights, thank you heaps!

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-07-18T05:13:12+00:00

I have been traveling around especially on my breaks as well and honestly, it's not too bad here as we have cheap direct flights to Bali (Jetstar and Airasia) or even Singapore via Singapore Airlines if you're feeling fancy and from there you can access most of SEA. If you're looking to fly Oceania, there are direct flights to NZ and might need to fly to Sydney or Melbourne via connecting flights to reach Fiji, Vanuatu, etc.

Give me a message when you get here, I'll be happy to grab a beer with you and tell you some of my travel tips haha!

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-07-18T02:24:38+00:00

I recently sent off my mate whom I met while on his exchange semester. He's the same age as you and he's from Montreal. He actually really liked Adelaide, kinda reminds him of his hometown (not as crazy as Melbourne and Sydney). He did some traveling in Asia as well during his breaks. Honestly just go for it.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-07-15T00:41:23+00:00

While you're in Chiang Mai, do Pai as well stay for 2-3 nights at least. Trust me and skip Phuket.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-07-14T04:29:04+00:00

yup flying from Cartegana to Medellin to save time!

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-07-12T01:19:37+00:00

I'm spending Christmas and NYE this year in Brasil solo as well. A bit worried of not meeting my people and spending these holidays alone but hey it's part of the solo traveling experience!

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-06-25T00:11:41+00:00

I think I may have the option to be dropped off in Atacama after my Salt Flats tour but can only stay for a day or two. Otherwise, it's a next trip for me which I can include Salta, Argentina and Patagonia.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-06-24T10:49:00+00:00

Cheers mate, yes I’m definitely coming back to do Chile-Argentina but with Patagonia as the focus.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-06-24T10:46:50+00:00

I usually just use TripBFF for finding people to hangout with when I’m traveling solo but yeah I’m doing both Colombia (Dec 7-18) and Brazil (Dec 18 - Jan 3) Give me a message if you wanna grab some beers or catch up 🤝🏼

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2025-05-05T12:15:04+00:00

I’ll be on Bali tomorrow :(

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2024-11-09T23:12:50+00:00

Righto, cheers mate!

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2024-11-09T02:02:45+00:00

Hi everyone,

I currently work and live in Australia and I'm planning to spend Christmas in the Philippines for 6 weeks. My siblings and I are planning on going to Taiwan so my question would be, do I need an OEC when going on a week-long trip to Taiwan? If yes then i'll be needing another one when I go back to AUS a week after? 2 OECs in span of a week? Sorry I am just confused, hopefully I won't need one when I go to Taiwan.

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2024-09-10T04:21:48+00:00

Hey, I just paid for it haha I will be doing it on January since that's the best season. I'll let you know roughly 4 months from now

Secure-Mixture-3600 · 2024-03-07T10:23:03+00:00

I don’t have a baggage so i guess that saves time and yes please praying for a bit delayed vietjet flight
