The Trip - Planned Itinerary

I've planned to travel for about six months with New Zealand as the final destination at the end where I will look for a new job and I hope to stay there for the forseeable future. Of course, that could change but I don't see myself living in Ireland. Vancouver is another possible location but only time will tell.

I start the trip off in Beijing, China, and will spend about one month travelling around China. Well, if you include Hong Kong and Taiwan as part of the China trip. After that I catch a bus into Vietnam for two weeks and have a further two weeks in Cambodia before getting a bus to Bangkok in Thailand.

Below is a loose calendar map of the countries I'll be visiting over the next six months. However, this is flexible and may change along the way. Please check out the blog to see where I was when the last post was made.
