Fellow vagabonds - Options for this winter
Hey fellow vagabonds.
What you all doing when it gets cold this year ?
Personally I reckon I'm going to stay in Greece until probably end of November.
So what do with Dec-Mar ?
Obviously things are changing all the time. In terms of SEA, I think the most likely to open to tourists is Indonesia, but that isn't happening until at least January.
As things stand, I'm looking at the following options:
-NEPAL (looks like it's opening next week with a PCR test. Could be a decent option - they have pretty ladies too)
-BRAZIL (seems to be open already with a PCR test. Could be a good option)
-SRI LANKA (talking about reopening soon, with similar requirements to Cambo but without the visa issue. Could do the job for 3-4 months)
-ZANZIBAR/Tanzanier (seems to be open already with a PCR test, but how long can you stay in Kendwa without going nuts ?)
-EGYPT (seems to be open already with a PCR test, but how long can you stay in Sharm without going nuts ?)

Vagabonds?
Expats are not vagabonds.
What is this 'cold' that you speak of?

If I were stuck in the West, I would probably head to Mexico. I don't think anything in Southeast Asia will open up soon enough.

Re: Fellow vagabonds - Options for this winter
Mexico's not a bad shout actually. I forgot to put it in the list.
I'm not too taken by most of Mexico but have always wanted to go to Baja California. Might check that out as a possible.
@Username Taken I wasn't calling all members vagabonds ! I think I'm one though plus maybe some others on here.

Turkey or Ethiopia perhaps. Seven-day self-quarantine currently required in Ethiopia though.popping in wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 4:54 pm Hey fellow vagabonds.

Nice women in Nepal? Really? Always imagined them to be a bit buxom from all the backpacks they're hauling to the summit.
Re: Fellow vagabonds - Options for this winter
I like it fine right here, Nepali girls are rather conservative.

Ethiopia's too much hassle for me personally these days. Good shout though if it's accessible.Skankykins wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 8:33 pmTurkey or Ethiopia perhaps. Seven-day self-quarantine currently required in Ethiopia though.popping in wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 4:54 pm Hey fellow vagabonds.

I've been all round Turkey and it's a great country to travel in. Like a lot of people though I'm looking for somewhere warm, which Turkey isn't at that time of year. It's also masks outdoors plus loads of other restrictions.
Nepal has a lot gorgeous women yeah for real.
The girly bars close at about 10pm though haha.

Re: Fellow vagabonds - Options for this winter
I’m working, unless I can get some extended leave and winter in SEA. A busy winter ahead, hopefully.

Re: Fellow vagabonds - Options for this winter
Australian PM said today that a travel bubble is being planned, for quite soon.
Some Western Pacific islands plus Japan, Korea, Singapore.
NZ soon too, but a few little snags.
He also said that general o/seas travel was probably off the table until end 2021. Min.
So i have started a little wildlife project with a couple of mad professors and plan to spend serious time on my kayak over the next 18 months on Sydney harbour- hunting and studying an amazing, little understood, amphibious mammal.
- and like my wild beast, avoiding the human species as much as is possible in the middle of a great big city.
(Hydromys chrysogaster, translation > Golden bellied water mouse
Rakali, australia's "otter", same niche, looks remarkably similar
- a giant native water rat, webbed feet, fur like a mink, and with a beautiful powerful furry white tipped tail.
Two feet long - half tail, half top predator.)
