Preferably people whom you know well bus when one leaves while organizing oneself, there are inevitably one or two bad things during the voyage. It is necessary thus to avoid the people who are stupid if you still did not find a hotel to 21h00... or who cry with the first difficulty!

If you are not too sure of the attitude of your assistants in real situation, organize a weekend in nature. You will learn more thing while walking 2 days in mountain (or forest) with them that while dining and by drinking beers regularly throughout the year!

For which budget ?

You inform before leaving and attention with the traps, some countries on the low standard of living practise high prices for the tourists. In addition some natural places (hiking trails, beaches... are accessible only while discharging from an import duty or while being made accompany by a guide!!). Note however that it is less expensive to leave 3 weeks to Thailand than to make 2 weeks of ski in a great station of the Alps. In general, the price of the plane ticket is incompressible. To make reduce the cost of your voyage, it will be necessary for you to cut down on the quality of the hotels, the restoration, etc...

Also think of checking near this one the maxima amounts of withdrawal and expenditure per chart to which you have right per week. You would be likely to be taken with deprived once on the spot.

It is repeated: note on paper in two specimens the useful call numbers:
- Medical assistance,
