Time to do something good with my life...

[binge]

Looking for a bir of experienced advice more than anything.
Last week Rox and I broke up. Decided it was time to move on after a 5 year relationship.
Ive moved out. And very luckily have been given a place to live for nothing. Yup... parents!

Anyway. This gives me great opportunity to save some serious cash. Can realistically be banking nearly a grand a month after paying my bills and owings.

Ive about 4k on a loan and credit card which I could clear within 5 months. That then frees me up to save and do something interesting..

I want to go traveling for a year maybe. Having never done it, I wouldnt know where to start.

I am more interested in the road network across the world than nature etc. So I would like to do it under my own mode of transport. Even if it means buying a car or bike at each destination just to sell it again when I want to go to another country. Or if they are complete shitters, I would just give them away.

So anyone ever done anything like this? What do I need to consider?

And anyone planning anything similar for 2015? Could probahly use a traveling buddy. Aha!

I'm currently thinking along the same lines at the moment, getting to the point where its time for me to move on to something new in my life. I'm 26 years old with nothing keeping me in the UK plus I've saved enough funds not to work for a few years and being a controls engineer easy enough to find new work, so been thinking about another big offroad bike trip and some traveling for a few months then maybe working abroad some where new is my current thinking.

Travelling around the world? Have you joined up to ADV forums and Horizons Unlimited? They would be able to give you some idea about how to prep for a RTW trip or longer car/bike adventure and HU is a network for people who are doing these trips.
