Carefree on a trip around the world
A year away from work and everyday life – who doesn’t dream of that? White sand beach instead of stress in the office, the kitchen of foreign countries instead of canteen and coffee machine? The dream of traveling around the world becomes possible with thorough preparation and planning. With the necessary preparation time, a little information and a good portion of courage, you will succeed in your dream trip – regardless of whether you want to leave for a year or even stay longer. In addition to travel routes, finances and the necessary papers, you also want to consider what is left behind: Should you give notice of the apartment? Where can I store furniture, clothes and beloved property? Here you can find out what to consider before a longer trip.
From dream to checklist – first steps on the way to a trip around the world
Many people have the idea of traveling around the world. Concrete implementation begins with the planning phase – and often ends in a confusing jumble of information. What papers are required? Where is the journey supposed to go in detail? Where are the cheapest plane tickets? And how much will the dream actually cost? Calculate enough time for the preparation, because one does not travel overnight for a long time. A set itinerary is helpful to find out about the necessary visa and entry requirements in advance. Researching the travel destinations also makes it possible to roughly estimate the costs incurred. Once the destination, type and length of the trip are set, the dream slowly becomes more concrete. The budget should be considered as early as possible. The costs also depend on how long and where the journey is going.
Once around the world – but only with the right papers!
In order to determine the travel period, various factors must be considered. How can time off be combined with work? When does the employer have to be informed? And how could the return to work be organized after the long journey? And what happens to your own four walls? There are various options here. The condominium can be rented out for the duration of the trip – this also needs to be prepared. If you live for rent, it may make sense to liquidate the apartment. You can safely store all your belongings and save on rental costs. This is where a self-storage provider comes in handy – your furniture and belongings can be accommodated more cheaply in the practical small storage facility until you need them again.
Dream beach within reach
Now you can start looking through the necessary papers for the trip. Passport, visa and insurance must be checked. For some countries, special vaccinations are required, of course, the complete vaccination card should be in your luggage. International health insurance is also a must. Shortly before the actual start of your journey, you compile a packing list for your luggage and first-aid kit. You should make a copy of all important papers – preferably once on paper and once digitally. This protects you if documents are stolen or lost. Necessary medicines and an international emergency card come in the suitcase. A visit to the dentist can also be useful – to have it checked out and professionally cleaned. The conversation with the employer is unavoidable – prepare yourself thoroughly. What could convince the boss to agree to the plan? How do you imagine your time off and your return to work? The more precisely you are prepared on these points, the more confidently you can argue.
You book the actual trip after you have finally decided on the travel period. An “Around the World Ticket” can be an inexpensive option. Of course, the specific travel planning also depends on personal style – some people prefer spontaneous ideas and do not want to commit themselves beforehand.
A short checklist with the most important points for preparation:
- Determine destination, type and duration
- calculate costs
- Work and job: time off or quit?
- Terminate or sublet the apartment? store furniture?
- Car: sell or keep?
- Prepare papers: Visa, passport, entry requirements
- Check contracts and cancel at the right time: rent, insurance, telephone, subscriptions…
- First-aid kit, vaccination card, international health insurance
- Book tickets and accommodation in advance
