Here is the infamous backpacking trip itinerary! I owe this all to Joe's extensive and fervent research. He has spent months on this trip planning it right down to the tea and crumpets. He is a walking "google" and holds a vast knowledge of every country and site will we see. I couldn't image going with anyone else! It will be an amazing learning experience for the both of us. As with anything you plan, there will always be glitches and that's part of the adventure. We will miss a train, lose something, get lost, or something will go awry but those will be the stories to tell for years to come.
