Boursorama banque et tour du monde

Hi,

We're leaving in 5 months for a 10-month family trip, and I'd love to hear from families who've lived this experience—what tips and lessons you took away. How did the adaptation go? It must feel really strange not having a... structured day, I can't find the right words. Thanks for your feedback! celine

Hi, We’d like to visit South America (among other places) with a vehicle, and I have a question about Chile and Argentina. A lot of "spots" are right on the border between these two countries, and I was wondering how to visit them since we’re not in a rush. Should we cross the borders without stopping so we don’t have to backtrack later, or should we explore the Chilean side first, for example, and then the Argentine side afterward? Thanks for your thoughts and advice! :)

I'd love some tips for traveling on a tight budget

Hi everyone!

I'm one of the future round-the-world travelers, leaving on July 2, 2012.

This is my first time gearing up, and I don’t want to make a mistake with my backpack. I’ve already done quite a bit of research, but I was wondering if you could help me refine my choice.

Needs: - Around 50L backpack - Comfort as a priority - Lightweight - Designed for a woman’s back (I’ve read on other forums that this really makes a difference) - Durable fabric (water-repellent is a bonus) - Max load of 7/8 kg

> I don’t need gadgets for experienced hikers (spots for trekking poles, ice axes, etc. = useless for me and just drives up the price)

A salesperson had me try two models in-store with weights—they’re very comfortable (though I don’t have anything to compare them to).

These models don’t have small front pockets—are those essential? They don’t come with a rain cover, but I’ll buy one if I go with either of these.

What do you think?

Thanks! 🙂

My buddy Christian and I (Patrick) set off for 28 days in Argentina in March. We’ve already shared several trips together (Bolivia Peru, Namibia, Laos, Costa Rica). Since we figure that at our age (65) we won’t be coming back here—there are just too many other places in the world to discover—we did the "grand tour" of Argentina.

Hi there, We’re planning to cross the land border between Costa Rica and Panama along the Pacific coast. Has anyone got any info? I’m not finding much online. From which city in Costa Rica can we catch a bus? Thanks in advance.

Hi fellow travelers,

We're leaving for a round-the-world trip in April and we'd love to share it with our parents, friends, and other travelers. We want to create a website where we can upload photos and provide useful info. However, we're not exactly tech-savvy 😕. We still have two months to get things ready.

Would you have any tips for creating such a site, assuming we'll need to update it from internet cafés?

Thanks in advance 😉
