Following this introduction, you willl find a section on how to plan your RTW destinations and how to work with a travel specialist or the airlines.  After that we will touch on preparing for your trip and packing.  The section after that is devoted to advice for use while you are en route overseas.  Finally, the last section of this website covers how to work yourself back into routines, relationships, and a career upon your return home.

 

Your RTW journey doesn’t start when you take off on that first flight - it starts now.  The hours you will put into research and preparation contribute a significant amount to the overall enjoyment and learning experience you will gain from your trip.  Put another way, the fact that you have started the research and planning process means that your RTW journey has already begun.
