The hardest part of this whole backpacking trip was planning an itinerary. With an itinerary roughy planned out, we could go ahead to start planning the rest of our trip such as travel insurance, vaccinations, accommodation, mode of transport etc

With so many countries in Southeast Asia, 7 months to travel all of this is definitely not enough time.

Our itinerary was created with the following in mind:

  • We wanted to visit all the countries we wanted to visit
  • Use a combination of (mainly) planes, trains and a few coaches here and there to get us around to save time
  • Book flights in advance so we could get a better price. As we were going during the high season we are betting that flight prices will increase during the Summer

Diving – There are lots of places to go diving. I’ve already highlighted my 10 top diving destinations and most of them are in Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia.
