132 - Preparing and waiting and having itchy feet

In today's show, Craig and Linda express the itchyness of their feet and desperate need to hit the road again. At the same time, there's plenty of work to be done in preparation! This show gives you a good overview of the practical aspects of preparing for long term travel, including:

Health checks and vaccinations.
Passports, visas and red tape.
Selling stuff and downsizing.
What not to leave behind.
Doing a travel budget and saving for travel.


PASSPORTS WITH PURPOSE
which was started last year. Travel bloggers work together to find sponsorship and raise funds for a charity. This year, our goal is to raise US$13,000 to build a school in Cambodia (through an approved US-based charity). The fundraising lasts until December 21 and the community has already raised over US$10,000!

For each $10 you donate, you can elect to go into the draw for one of many great prizes supplied by travel bloggers and the travel companies they've roped into taking part. We were sad we couldn't afford to contribute anything this year, but look forward to doing so in the future.
