I’m somewhat of a world traveler Been to north south and central America. been to most of Asia and africa. not may places left for me to see in Europe. I’ve seen people with wealth beyond measure and people so poor their dream was simply to someday send they children to a school.
But no where was I ever treated as badly and rudely as when I went to Port-au-Prince Haiti! of course I was there in 2005 and the violence in the streets was really horrorfic

I’m very interested in traveling to either Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, or Kyrgyzstan for a week in the summer. Of those countries, which would be the best to visit, pertaining to ‘things to do’?
paris.lydia :
I just got out of college and jumped into the real world. When my lease is up in March, I am quitting my job (don’t tell my boss!) and I want to travel! I want to stay in hostels etc. and I want to really experience each country. In the least, I want to visit a few countries in Central America, Take the train around Europe, and possibly do Asia/Australia.
In the fall, I will settle back down and get a “real” job again. I feel like this summer is really the best opportunity for me to do this!
Any ideas of how to organize my trip? What are some places I should definitely see?
Thanks!!

Overland vs. flying (Iran to Kyrgyzstan)
I am visiting Iran in the Spring, and I’m deciding whether to enter Central Asia by
1) overland via Turkmenistan or
2) by airplane to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan
On one hand, I can see NO benefit in going overland since I need to arrange a difficult/expensive Turkmen transit visa in Iran, and a tourist visa to Uzbekistan, as “proof of onward travel” .
Honestly, I am more interested in Kyrgystan, and Tajikstan because of the high mountain ranges. It’s going to be hot in the late spring/early summer, and Uzbekistan and Turkemistan are pretty flat compared to their mountainous neighbours. Therefore, I prefer Kyrgyz and Tajik
Anyways, that’s why I am considering just flying (Iran-Kyrgyzstan) and since I am Canadian, a free visa on arrival (30 days) awaits me at Bishkek airport. Another added bonus compared to going overland.
Does anyone see the benefit of going overland? Of course, I already found an airline flying Mahshad, Iran directly to Bishkek, only a 4 hour flight, and the price is bound to be cheap. In August 2008, and Iran Aseman flight crashed killing everyone on board just 2km outside Bishkek airport.
So I guess now I’m only looking for an excuse NOT to go overland? And no the crash isn’t enough, though maybe it should be? Nah, not by me.
Arriving in Bishkek by air is again beneficial because of the free visa on arrival, and the relative ease in getting a Tajik visa in Bishkek, as well as the new Chinese/Tajik border crossing recently opened (2004).
The only concern remaining is where to get a Chinese tourist visa to enter Xinjiang?
Bishkek, or Dushanbe?
Also, I am interested in entering Pakistan, and India after China, via the Karakourom highway (from Kashgar to near Islamabad). Where do I get those visas? Which embassies hand them out easier?
My possibilities are
Bishkek, Dushanbe, Tehran, or Dubai, but I have no idea when I am going to enter China, India, or Pakistan, so I need open entry dates on the visas, thus giving me freedom to travel at my own speed.
Thanks for any insight.
Maybe if you were more open to explaining what you mean?

I from kazakhstan and am tired of people saying that it is unpeaceful and its people are not free. Kazakhstan is as civilized as any country. Women can now travel on inside of bus, homosexuals are no longer have to wear blue hats, and age of consent has been raised to eight years old. Please, captain of industry, I invite you to come to Kazakhstan, where we have incredible natural resources, hard-working labor and some of the cleanest prostitutes in whole of central Asia

My best friend and I want to travel for 6 months to a year, but would like to work temporary jobs to help us pay the expenses as we go. Two girls, age 22, both college graduates looking for an experience of a lifetime. Any ideas on traveling between countries and working?? We love warm weather… we are thinking Central America, South East Asia, or anywhere in the Pacific like Guam, Australia, New Zealand. Any ideas or experiences would be great! We are Christians and are open any type of missions work as well. Thanks!!!
