Im totally bored with my living arrangements. Living in Oz. Bogan city. Over it. Dont enjoy the culture at all. So bogan so boring.

 

What should I do?

 

1 go travelling for a year? Hard with covid

2 Base in Siem Reap

3 Base in Phillipines

4 Holiday for 3 or 4 months every year mainly Thailand with border hops

 

 

 

Yess, do everything, you can do it!

Travel is something i really like. Any guidance on a plan be good.

Are you in shape? Get a bicycle and cycle Singapore to London.

 

You can do Darwin to Perth but this is tough one.

You have a bucket list, interests, sports, like to drive, a gf or wife? 

 

Budget?

Sometimes changing the geography doesnt help the problem, because wherever you go, you are right there.

Planning to travel for 10 months, first stop Oz...

I visited Oz a few years ago and found it boring. Travel to Indonesia and rent/buy a motorbike - take yourself on a tour of Java.

True, but it can change the direction for a few years, and also the contrasts and interests.

 

Sometimes a new start is good

Depends what you want. The landscape is a bit boring, but there is no better place in the world to find solitude...even to the point of losing your life.

 

See the documentary "Salt"... breathtaking scenery.

We try to do Winter in Thailand and Winter in Australia.

 

Edit. Where are you in Oz if you don't mind me asking?

Bogan city could be anywhere.

Traveling for a year is the best option if younger, wait until covid restrictions are lifted. Other options are good also

Knowing you like multiple if not most countries around TH, you plan to do easy visa and border hopping, it is quite sensible to just mix all the countries without needing any visa at all. You could go to Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos etc without any hassle. 

I think that is the holy grail too as you are not staying too long to get bored + I would also not go in the hottest months here.

In terms of restrictions I not really get your point, it's easy to go to Malaysia, Philippines or Thailand already right, so enough choice / options to make it a year, visa wise too.

Is there a body shop? I would order a new one.

This is no state pension

If you have nowealth. It's probable you will have to rely on social security in your old age, which will mean being in australia.

Therefore spend as much time up to then enjoying yourself.

 

Get a scooter, or motorcycle, backpack, and do OZ first, since having 30+k kms of coastline.  Do about 100 kms a day, and that will take about 1 year alone.  Or just overnight when your butt gets sore, explore the local area, till bored, then move on.  May have to loop around again though, as you missed a few spots ????

 

When done with OZ, after a year or so, reassess.  By then international travel should be easy.

Come to Thailand. Find yourself a car, a slot operated lady and off you go.

 

Of course if you are on a limited budget neither may be prestine.

Feel ya.  20 adult travelling yrs in USA, and covered what interests me, with few exceptions, and why I'm here.  You will get bored here rather fast though, as really a small country.
