| Here are a few things you might want to consider: -Once you have sold your house, or when you leave the country for more than a year you don't have a registered address. Be sure to register with your parents or family/friends. This because mostly you need to have an address in order to get insurance while away. Plus almost every country has you fill out those forms on entering where you have to state your home address. They can't have all those homeless/jobless people roaming around. Its just easier, believe us. So you might have to pay for some stuff at home, like citytaxes. Have those people where you are registered do that for you, you'll refund them! Left: Seals, you will encounter them in a lot of places. We did in the U.S./on Vancouver Island/New Zealand etc. They choose the most inhospitable places to lie around. |
| Right: A crested penguin. New Zealand has some pretty good places to spot them, like Doubtful sound. A fjordlike area. |
| -Notify all people/companies you have ties with and give them 'your' temporary address, to be sure you don't end up with intrest-bills after your return. You might have forgotten to end a subscription etcetera. -End subscriptions (newspapers/power/telephone), and be sure to end automatic payments long before you go in order to be able to stop paying whenever you want to. -Sell your car, end its insurance after that. -Don't worry about taxes, no income, no tax! -Notify your doctor/dentist. |
| Right: Bridal Veil falls a lot of countries have them named this way. The most beautiful Bridal Veil we've encountered was in Zion N.P., U.S.A. |
| -Get an international driverslicense if applicable. -Get new passports which allow a maximum stay away period. -Get a new creditcard so it won't expire while you are travelling (You might need it) -Give your plants a good Foster home. -End lottery and charity payments. -Find out for which countries you need visa and what maximum stay that visa allows! Most countries allow you to stay at least 60 days (depending where you come from) but some do 90 and some do much much less! |
| Right: One of the most spectacular National Parks in the U.S. is Capitol Reef N.P.. Huge rock formations, beautiful scenery. Almost unearthly! Don't just drive by lake Powell, visit it! |
| Right: Mesa Verde N.P. is filled with these kind of Cliffdwellings. People actually used to live here. They were sheltered by these overhanging Cliffs. Some Dwellings are accessable. |
| -Try to get some of your visa ahead, sometimes this is not possible because you don't know when you will arrive in a country exactly. Then be sure there is an embassy of that country in the country you visit before the country you need the visa for. Otherwise you won't be able to get in. A lot of worldtraveller guide books share this information with you. |
