Title: Traveling around the World - Leaving 9th of October 2018
Post by: Barto on January 07, 2018, 03:12:09 pm
Traveling around the World!
(http://blogs.acs.nmu.edu/library/files/2015/01/hikers3.jpg)

Many of you asked me about my plans to travel. Because of this I decided to make a topic so I can show it to you guys  ;D This Topic shall be updated everytime that something has changed in my plans or when I have an update on anything

ME!
(https://i.imgur.com/WXqPQRv.jpg)
Lets first start with who I am. My name is Bart, I am a 23 year old student that lives in Katwijk, The Netherlands. For the past 4 years I studied Business, Management, Economics and Law at the University of The Hague.

This year I am writing my Thesis about the positive effect of renewable marine harbors in The Netherlands. I start in February 2018 and I am planning to finish it in May the same year.

The past few year haven't been easy, the pressure of university and the aftermath of my depression a few year earlier took its toll. Last year I had an internship at a horrible company and I decided that it was enough. For years I had plans to travel the world, but now I was really going for it! For the past year I have been planning my travel plans. All of this is going to happen after the summer of 2018. My plans are to leave in September 2018 for the duration between 9+ months.

Preparation
First the preparation. This is waaaaayyy more then I expected. From the visa to travel documents so many things that need to be done.

List of things I already Have

List of things I still need to buy

Small Collection of the stuff I already Bought:

And because I really love to Photograph and Film things I also got a GoPro:

For the next months I will keep collecting the stuff I need, like the backpack I will get on my Birthday in March :D

The Road Ahead
(http://avante.biz/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Travel-Wallpaper-001.jpg)

First stop: The United States of America

(https://www.muraldecal.com/en/img/as340-png/folder/products-detalle-png/wall-stickers-united-states-of-america.png)
East Coast
This country has been on my list forever. I will leave from Schiphol Nation Airport near Amsterdam to New York. Here I will stay for around a week. Follow by that I am planning to visit Washington DC. After that I will take a plane to Miami where I plan to stay for a week enjoying the sun. But also, hopefully a space launch from Cape Canaveral.
(https://spaceinsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/SpaceX-Falcon-Heavy-Launch-Slips-to-2018-1024x576.jpg)
Beside my love for environment and technology I also have a passion for Space Exploration. That is why I want to witness the launch of a rocket.

West Coast
Next I will go to the East Coast. Here I want to Visit San Francisco, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon! These plans are not final yet, so edit will take place here :)

Japan, the country of the rising sun
(https://lifefreakz.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/japan_header.jpg)
This will be one of my favorites country's to go to! The tranquility, culture and amazing countrysight of Japan are the most reasons why I want to visit it. When I arrive there I will spend a week in Tokyo and for the remainder of my time I will travel with the railwaysystem. For that I have bought a traincard. This traincard makes it possible for me to travel around Japan for 14 days with one card. My plans are to stay in Japan for around 1 Month.

Down Under, Australia
(https://secure.parksandresorts.wdpromedia.com/resize/mwImage/1/1200/600/90/secure.parksandresorts.wdpromedia.com/media/abd/refresh/asia-africa-australia/australia-vacations/adventures-by-disney-australia-day-02-opera-house.jpg)

The highlight of my travel. The first two country's were for enjoying, but here I will have to work. At the moment I am working of getting a Working Visa that makes it possible for me to work and live in Australia for one whole year! For the first months I am planning to work in Australia. I hope I can find a job for at least 3-6 months and earn some money for something really special :)

Like some of you guys know I love the road. I work at a BMW dealer, have worked as a Taxi Driver and a Delivery man for a industrial company of my father. The road is truly my home. So While I am working in Australia I am also planning to..... (drumrollll......)


BUY a Van! And yes it will be an ordinary van. But I got a few months to work on it. The idea is to rebuild the van to a Campervan, where I can sleep, eat and drive around with. With the money I earned I will be able to build this. But the benefit of this is not only freedom, but it is also much more cheaper. I think I will be able to sustain myself for the next 4 months without the need of any more work. I don't have to rent a room or a car. With this I will be able to drive all over the coast of Australia.

All things come to an end

At a certain point I will be out of money in Australia. When that happens I will sell my Campervan and spend the rest of my money, which I got from selling my van, to travel back home. Of course not directly home :) . The plans are to visit a few cheap country's like:

After a well deserved holiday there, I plan to travel back to Europe. But first visit the eastern part of Europe and the southerns part :)

For now this are all my plans. They will expand over the next few months and be more detailed. I would love to keep you guys up to date. I am planning to keep updating this topic on the road and might even start a real blog. For now this is it.

I think I only got to post around 20% of the stuff I already prepared for or already know, but I will keep modify this topic for the next few days.

If you guys have any suggestion what I should see around the road feel free to post it here!

Woah, I've always wanted to travel as well but I'm still a student ,I hopefully will one day.

You really need a camera,a DSLR. I've had it for a year now and God, it just adds a lot touch to any place you go. Recording in high quality is a bonus but you already have a GoPro so you don't need that feature but photography,yeah buy one..

I can't really suggest the places as which I've not visited myself but I can I'd say why not visit the real LS, Los Angeles, California US. Don't go in groove St obviously lol. It would be fun to actually see it in real. If you're into cars I think Beverly Hills is a must visit since all riches live there and like Lamborghinis pass often. I'll be like a boy at candy stores seeing it omg. This is all based on my views based on seeing things on internet so excuse me if some local has anything different to share.

Also, why not do oneof those challenges ... A picture a day or no shave ... They look dope.

I was first planning to also visit Canada, But because of the length of my trip I want to visit it another time. But I might visit Niagara Falls :P

Another camera would be a good idea. Friend of mine got a few he don't use anymore. I might buy one of him :) .

How could I forget to mention Los Angeles! It is on my list but forgot to post here. I will sure visit it (and going to find Groove St XD). And I will at Beverly Hills to my list, didn't think about that yet.

I was thinking to make a vid like that at the end of my journey. But not the same, but with my own twist.

If you like to drive, Why not roadtrip in the US instead? Saw this clip a while ago. Pretty interesting actually.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K30NUv28sHs&t=

Funny you would mention that. My initial plan was to do a roadtrip in the United States. But the more I learned about it the more problem it found. First problem i had was that there isn't much work for backpackers and the US don't give out a lot of working visa for backpackers. If i wanted to roadtrip in the US I needed a job so I could work on a van and earn some money. And the chance of visiting other country's was a little bit less because of the financial problems I would ran into.

That is the reason I choose for Australia, Lots of work for backpacker, good paychecks and I could visit the US and Japan and still qualify for a working visa in Australia.

But I as I said to Son_Gun I am still planning to visit Canada, Might go on a detour with my a Motor to the US. Who knows, Traveling brings joy to life.

yes! he can roadtrip it will be a good trip seeing around the U.S an fimpen i saw that clip a couple hours ago an yes its pretty good! :p

I will roadtrip, but not in the US. Might find some other backpackers to travel with on the road, if not there is always the bus XD

Wow! Good luck! I'd love to see your vlogs

Thanks! You bet ya. Got a few tools for vlogging, not quite sure which to use, so you will hear that later.

No India? Wtf....

Who knows? Might go on a detour. US, Japan and Australia are the country's were I am sure about. Might chance my mind after that :D

Not a bad way to burn a few thousand euros x) have fun

I thought the same thing!

Wow man! Your dream trip starts soon :) Very exciting really! I think you should visit some little towns in USA.

I will tell you one of my target destination town in USA, I don't know if it's on your route or not. But I suggest you to see that beautiful little town mixed with nature of country side :)

Jackson Hole, Wyoming It's not famous, it's like just a random town in USA, but I like the feeling of being in Jackson Hole streets. Because it looks like pure countyside life :D

Post by: YoMama on January 08, 2018, 07:06:08 am
If you want a small town worth visiting in California, I'd recommend some of the Gold Rush towns in the northern parts of California. There are plenty of fun roads to ride, plus lots of mountain biking opportunities and cool things to see. San Francisco is a very cool city- San Fierro features many of the places and things I would recommend visiting in San Francisco.

Downieville, CA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr36okrLMhI) (population: 282) would be a worthwhile stop for the small-town aspect, plus it's a great place to use as a base to go elsewhere- Lake Tahoe, nice places to ride off and on road (Mountain biking competitions are held there, there are also plenty of fun roads to ride motorcycles on: here's the ride in (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijqna58w3wg), here's State Route 89 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPXqR6NexS8) nearby), nice hiking to very cool views (Sierra Buttes USFS fire lookout hike (https://californiathroughmylens.com/sierra-buttes-fire-lookout), Yuba River (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wP8Uibex-Y)), etc. It's also only about 3 hours away from San Francisco, less time than a lot of people spend in LA traffic.

I personally dislike LA and most of Southern California, mainly because of the culture. The entire place is superficial. LA is built in the middle of a desert, and as a result has to take water from Northern California (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_California) and other rainy areas to maintain its green grass and swimming pools. The city is glitzy and glamourous without much charm apart from the tourist destinations. As mentioned, the traffic sucks. GTA's parodies of LA have a lot of basis in reality. People from SoCal seem to care more about what you possess and how you look than what you actually are. However, I don't fault you for wanting to visit. You will recognize Los Santos, particularly in the smog.

I have a friend who worked for SpaceX in Florida. He hated the state. He saw a lot of launches, many of which were postponed. If you're going to be spending more time on the West Coast and/or you miss a launch, you might be able to catch one at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California- check their launch schedule and the weather forecasts (I almost saw one in CA, but it was postponed due to weather).

Jackson Hole, Wyoming It's not famous, it's like just a random town in USA, but I like the feeling of being in Jackson Hole streets. Because it looks like pure countyside life :D
Sorry to ruin it for you, but Jackson is actually pretty well-known here, mainly because it's often the only town that people can name in Wyoming, but also because it's a famous skiing location and the gateway to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. It's a tourist destination, and therefore somewhat artificial and ritzy compared to your average American small town (though it still retains a lot of local culture).

Very nice topic dude, that was a lot of effort for you to write all this but very cool. My goals in the future are to travel like that too. Hit USA/Canada, visit Australia/NZ, Europe, India are part of my personal bucket list.

But if you're gonna visit the USA, you should try to figure out to do a roadtrip. Don't be a typical tourist, visit some real cities where people live and work. If you take a roadtrip, you could hit some cities like Colorado Springs/Denver (for the beautiful views of the mountains, Chicago (Yea obviously gotta my kind of town Chicago), Nashville (for the love of music), Atlanta, and ofc whatever else there is that you may like. But being around the midwest center of the USA is perfect.

(http://nissanmaxima.me/wp-content/uploads/map-a-road-trip-14-maps-update-670440-usa-according-to-science-this-for-google.jpg)

Do something like this, and hey visit Wyoming (they don't have any income taxes and they'll fill your gas up)

Oh surprised to see it's known town in USA. Because I just found that town by coincidence while I was wasting my time on Google Maps :D

Also one of my instagram photographer buddies(who lives in US) went there to enjoy christmas, I saw skiing locations, mountains, naturel parks.. Just awesome. There will be one of my destinations if I go to america someday!

lel I watch this Live Cam of Jackson Hole sometimes ;D

Yes!

I do this every year, each time it gets more and more awesome!

I was first planning to also visit Canada, But because of the length of my trip I want to visit it another time. But I might visit Niagara Falls :P

You will get wet, literally water spraying everywhere, also if you're able to, you should book a helicopter flight!

Jackson Hole is definitely worth visiting, same goes for Mammoth Lakes.

LA isn't worth visiting, it's a shithole.

If you need any help or want to know some more cool places, let me know, I've been all over the world.

Good suggestion! About SpaceX I am aware of that... I will only go there if the chance of the launch that week would be likely, otherwise I stay longer in San Francisco.

Well hard to say how much I will spend for this trip. Over the past years I have saved enough to stay away for a few months. But because I am going to work in Australia I won't need much of my savings. And when I go traveling with my campervan it will become even cheaper :)

Around the World in 9 months. ;D
Featuring Bart Van Den Ankel.
Wow man I do like to greet you for your journey. Good luck and have a safe trip and shopping in future.
I bet during his journey he's gonna marry one pretty girl when he will find her in the world trip ;D ;D ;D

Please, if you gonna post my name here please write it correct XD,
Ooh you have no idea what kind of girls I will find during my visit :D

Would you record a blog?
I'll be happy to edit it *_*
Do buy me some weed from Amsterdam


...

I would love that. Most of the things I would be able to edit from phone and with GoPro app, because I am not bringing a laptop with me. Someethings might not work on my phone. Good to know you have my back then :P

If you ever visit Amsterdam I will get you some quality weed for your help

Travel Vlogs don't really need edits except basic cutting of footage (especially not Dank Memes filters). Beside's Barto's GoPro HUD is already pretty good enough imo.

Anyways, Goodluck Barto!

True, but sometimes I might wanna might a small edit vid :)

Denk meme filters are the best!!

Dayum I hope I'll be able to do this kind of stuff. As of now the best I could do was moving to Germany xD

Well it is something, where you moving to in Germany?

I'm currently at Dortmund, kinda close to Netherlands border I guess. Still haven't found a permanent place to stay though, just trying to save the day until I find one xD

Its been almost 7 months since the last post, but the day is almost there: I am leaving 9th of October 2018 from Schiphol, Amsterdam to John F. Kennedy Airport, New York City. I will stay in New York City for more then a week and then I go to Washington DC were I will stay for a few days. From Washington DC I will go to Miami to visit the Nasa and enjoy the sunshine there.

After my 2.5 week stay on the east coast I will continue my trip to the west coast of the USA and start in San Francisco from where I will rent a car/motorcycle and follow route 1 in a 4 day road trip to Los Angeles. Mayby I will go visit Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, but I am not sure if I got the time for that.

Then I will leave the United States and leave to Japan mid November, where I will stay for over 1 month traveling the country by train. After that I will go to Australia where I will work and travel for a whole year.

I have heard many of you who want to follow my trip, so below here there is a link to followed me realtime! In this blog I will post photos and story's about my trip. I will also post the link at the top of this topic and on my signature.

https://www.polarsteps.com/BartvandenAnker/832828-worldtrip

With this plan I will be gone for more then a year, so I have to say goodbye. It is unlickely I will be online while I travel, but I will keep up with the Forum. I will stay online till I will leave so I am not gone yet :)

No you noob, most world travels are well planned and are as time saving as possible travel wise. He is going west because it's more closer and faster to Japan->Australlia route that way. His trip would be extended by a lot if he comes to any middle-east,southeast asian country.
