    Thought you said you wouldn't do one when we spoke before Stacey? Think jumping out of a plane at 14,000ft will be quite unforgettable! Im gonna do a skydive, bungee jump and maybe some abseiling

    What accommodation are you staying in? I find hostels are great places to meet fellow solo travellers, just make sure they have a communal are where people can chill and chat to others. I find the best way to get chatting is have a bottle of booze and offer someone some.....always kick starts a conversation

    Looking at different backpacks for next year and there is so much choice itals confusing lol Im looking to get one with a detachable daypack but not sure what size or make. What size does everyone use? I was thinking maybe 65l + cos will have sleeping bag etc..

    I'm a master at playing the triangle if that helps?

    The best places to look are 'go outdoor' and 'millets', dont know if you have any near you. They are a bit more expensive but they are really great quality and the people there know what would be best for you. Or try an army surplus store

    Im not the strongest, but a 60l full is quite easy to carry if all the straps are on as it shifts all the weight to a more comfortable position. I used one when I went trekking in Wales a few years back

    You can get good backpacks that have detachable daypacks, thats what I will go for. Will have to be at least 65l in size. The best thing to do is when you see one, ask in the shop if they can put some weight in it so you know it will be comfortable to carry when you have all your stuff in.

    Can't knock primark or primani! I think buying a good backpack and gear will prob set me back about £300. I would be quite content with £2500 +, that would just mean I would have to look for work sooner.

    Oops thought this was on the thread I started haha oh well! I wish I could only do 40 hours, my basic is 45 a week. Did a couple of 15 hour shifts before so may need to do a months worth of them lol Really want to get as close to £4000-£5000 as I can as soon as I can

    No pain no gain as they say! Just think of the rewards at the end of it! Have you thought of what type of work you would look for in Oz? I've considered harvest work and maybe go back to working in kitchens. If I ever went to work in new Zealand i could get work on a ski resort a friend works in so got that in the back of my mind.

    The saving is the hardest for me I think. Probably gonna be working 70hour weeks for a while to save!

    Just wait till you get out there, no point planning too far ahead cos you never know where you will be or what you will be doing. Just go with the flow, that way you can't be disappointed if things dont work out as planned lol

    Well next new year, hopefully still be in Oz, Sydney sounds great! My brother lives in Japan so may visit him, or do what I have done for the past 2 years...sleep through it lol
