All Around the world

Now, perhaps more than ever, touring the world has never been more accessible. The idea of signing up for one of these around-the-globe trips, as they’re called, is almost too exciting for me to handle. With the right know-how, any destination can be mine.

Like their name suggests, the tours are planned to cover each of the continents. As if being a world wanderer weren’t glam enough, there are also a variety of packages designed to meet the interests and needs of different travellers. One of my favourites, courtesy of Flight Centre’s website, is called the City Escapade. Again, fairly self-explanatory. This trip would be very appealing to those seeking to find some of the world’s urban gems. The listed cities include London, Bangkok, Singapore, Perth, Sydney, Los Angeles and San Francisco — though your travel itinerary could comprise many more, depending on how many places you’d like to add on).

However, if exploring the concrete jungle isn’t your thing, perhaps a premium tour of the world’s fashion capitals will do, or a roundabout to the most intoxicatingly beautiful wineries and restaurants for the culinary whiz.

In a way, the thought of all this planning reminds me of English class and reading Around the World in 80 Days. 
But unlike 19^th century Jules Verne promised, you can see it all in practically no time.
