Go to asia,two and a half k will get you several months in Thailand,cambodia,vietnam and Laos.As paid pointed out dont have a plan,be fluid in your travel when over there,your going to meet people who say I found the most incredible beach/temple/village etc and your going to want to see/do it for yourself. Condoms!You meet lots of backpacking middle-class gap-year types who seem to gravitate towards you for whatever reason :kiss: I did the marco-polo silk-road when I was in my teens,had a wanderlust ever since,interesting times

Excellent program,from the book by D.J.Watkins-Pitchford,I never missed an episode -
Saw this fella in Zamboanga,caught in a gill-net,the future didnt look rosy for him as they are eaten then the shells turned into guitars or polished and the plates used for hair-cimbs or jewellery,the eggs are for sale in Zambo market often enough,the local name is pawikan,its a hawksbill. I was off the coast of Morocco in the med two or three months ago when I went past a turtle,about the size of a bin-lid,maybe a tad larger,I think it was a green turtle?Totally unperturbed as I passed it at about 4 or 5 knots.

Arabs were the original export slavers long before we turned up on the scene,theres still slavery in africa,its just not publicised the way it was,some countries still practice indetured bondage/slavery,you can still buy someone on the dark continent.

That was then this is now,the concept of inherited guilt is outdated,we arent responsible for the actions of our forefathers.
