Props to you for doing it, and I look forward to the stories and tips that I'm sure I will be getting out of your experience to fuel my own! (I'm off to Asia for an undetermined amount of time next year...) Thanks Rob! PS. Will you be updating your blog with your re-integration into the US?

You are a gifted artist. I, too, live in Riverside county having moved from Orange County in 2000. I have a son, aged 25, who is also a wanderlust. He has traveled throughout Europe, Mexico, Central America, The Maldives, Indonesia and is currently in Australia with plans to travel throughout New Zealand and Fiji before returning "home". I think you both "have it right". Continue "living the dream" Rob and May God Bless You, Reward You and Guide You on your journey. And, May He Keep You Healthy and Return You Safely Home to your Loved Ones. That is my "Mother's Prayer" for my son, and ditto for you Rob. Travel on and enjoy the journey. Mrs.G Hello Rob,

I'm searching for ideas for my first trip. Thinking of hitchhiking around the USA for awhile. I'm 49. I have 6 great children, ages 15, 17, 19, 21, 26 & 28. I'm just fed up with the rat race. I met a radio celeb several months ago and he encouraged me to head for europe, find something to export and make my first million. Kids are pretty sure I've lost it. Any encouragement is appreciated. RObert

I just got back from a trip to India, amazing place, you are going to love it! I was wondering though, after reading your pricing breakdown, though tentative for each country, and the amount of time you want to spend there, I was wondering where you would be staying. I commend you if you are able to stay within budget for food, accomodations, knickknacks and entrance fees! Are you staying with friends? Hostels? If not, let me know the secret! I love to travel and anything that can save me money is a must. Anyway, good luck! Fantastic that you are doing this! I just got back from a trip to India, amazing place, you are going to love it!

My husband and I went around the world for our honeymoon. Took 6 months to do it. WE LOVED IT! We got back home jobless, pennyless, homeless. Like you, we had family support, who provided us with temporary housing. It was just a matter of weeks when we got back on our feet financially (back then computer programmers were very high in demand). We have friends who traveled through Europe working on odd jobs. But, be careful. Best if you had a traveling companion. Also, one of our favorite stops was Japan. We stayed in the hostels. Very friendly, very clean. Natives, especially students, were very eager to practice their English!
