For 10 days I will be your maintainer, and we will be able to together with you plunge into the world of adventure and self travel All you have to do is decide on trip, pack up and end up in Bangkok in November / December (we will agree on the exact dates later). All the preparation for the trip done by me, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to do! No, just the opposite, this individual program suggests that we will learn to travel together independently: look for accommodation or book it, buy tickets and navigate, communicate with local, solve unforeseen situations in place.
The format of our group trip is completely different from the programs. all inclusive and designed for active people who are still alive the spirit of adventure, and to whom the usual beach break seems painful boring. During these 10 days I will try to share with you all those the knowledge that I have, starting with the ways of saving, ending directly preparing the route. Each of you will receive real travel experience and in the future will be able to travel independently.
The number of people in the group will be a maximum of 5 people. Places limited, hurry up!
UPDATE: November group recruited. December group recruited.
UPDATE: Trip Report with a group in the north of Thailand – 2000 km in 10 days
