Sundae-I'm sorry!
I know its a lot of money and they don't include the return trip. In all I think it'd cost £5000 sterling. If you saved 50 quid a week for two years it could be achievable. Easier said than done!

I am an avid traveller, in my mind at least, and am looking at my options for when I finish my masters. All going well I will be in Africa doing research for the summer months, and will hand in my Thesis in November. So I'd like to travel South America or take this journey, before spending some time in Oz, which is almost a must do for British and Irish twentysomethings.

Glatt- I'm single, I'm 23 but I don't have that kind of money!! not right now anyway, especially if I have to pay for the research trip myself. (Sidenote-I'm applying for funded internships soon and any positive energy you want to send my way would be more than welcome!)

I'll probably have to work for a few months so I think I'll take off in March 2008 if nothing better presents itself. A friend of mine and I have planned our own Dublin-Sydney route, but this type of travel seems safer to me.
The other option is slightly less expensive and would be a year long trip, the Great escapade or Explorer options at the bottom:
