I tried snowmobiling in Bulgaria a few years ago, zipping around snowy forests under the instruction of a drunk Bulgarian man. It was brilliant.
You sound quite well traveled, I'm jealous...I want drunk bulgarians to teach me stuff
I've gotten around a bit, but not so far as I'd like. I've been no further West than Detroit (USA), no further East than Moscow (Russia), no further North than Helsinki (Finland) and no further South than Blantyre (Malawi). I'd still love to visit East Asia, Australasia, and South America. I'd love to see more of Africa and of North America. There are bits of Europe I haven't visited yet, especially in Eastern Europe, and I'd like to see more of the Mediterranean countries. I'd love to go back to Russia. I'd like to visit or revisit many of the Scottish islands.
Well you're living my dream. I'm both Scottish and Russian and I would love to visit both of those areas. Any advice as how you made your journeys happen to give to a young traveler?
In my case, I got lucky in that my parents were keen travellers (and happy to do so on a ludicrously-low budget - we went camping and/or youth hostelling around most of the UK and Scotland when I was a kid). Apart from that, all I can suggest is: * Look at sponsored expeditions - my trip around Malawi by bike, for example, was sponsored (in aid of a charity that provides anti-retroviral drugs in central Africa), and was a fantastic adventure.
* Jump on cheap opportunities - if you see a way that you can cheaply get to the other side of the country/world, even if it means sleeping in a dorm room or in a tent, take it. Better to have the story of how you had to drive through the night to return a borrowed car, after spending the day ice climbing (true story), than to sit at home and surf the web. Make friends in distant places, and couchsurf for one another, if that works for you. Don't know if that's actually any use or not: just my experience!
