Cairo to Europe

Hi I am trying to plan part of my trip and will be going from Cairo into Europe with Hamburg being the target.
I was thinking of flying Cairo to Istanbul or Cairo to Athens and then making my way to Hamburg.
I'm not sure which one would be better. I would like to see both city's and countries.
Is there one way to go that is better? Or should I just flip a coin.
Does anyone have some advise?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Big Step

Hi

So, I have decided to make a big step and do what I have been wanting to do for a while now. Tired of my job and in need of something exciting. I am planning to get English teaching certificate and go abroad and teach for a few months in different places. I would like to be able to go away end of this year, so I guess I have enough time to prepare. Or, is end of this year too ambitious?
Does anyone have advice on how to start about this? I researched Celta to be the best certificate to get and in London where I live, there are plethora of places where one can get it. Any suggestions on which schools?
Secondly, I decided to start saving some money for initial two months before I actually get a job and salary? How much I need to save I guess depends on where I will be. Any advice on location - where is best to go in terms of getting the teaching job? I would love to visit SE A... more »

Walk around the world..

So, here's the thing. I promised myself sins I finish my school to get out of this god forsaken place that called home. The last few years I been in a lot of countries but sins two weeks I’m home again and I’m dying to leave everything behind this time and try the impossible. The idea is to walk from the Netherlands where i am now around the world to get as much country as possible for the Guinness World Records book. The most people will think I’m a crazy guy but the fact is sins the beginning traveling was always my passion and I want to show the world that it is possible to walk around the world and that all the countries are not that bad as the most people think.

Off course there going to be places that I will skip like as an example Afghanistan.

The problem is how is it going to be with visa because I expect that some countries will be a longer walk than as an example three... more »

RTW Flights advice!

Hello, me and a friend are looking to go travelling for the first time.

Via STA travel we loved the look of UK > Dubai (Transit stop off) > Sri Lanka > Singapore > Australia > New Zealand > NY overland to LA > UK (£1250)

We want to travel in august and be back for Christmas but we're worried with that itinery that it won't match the weather very well.. we would end up in america for winter and be in sri lanka when really hot. We got in contact with STA Travel and they said they can't do the trip vice versa.

So now we're in a pickle! we really want to explore america and loved the sound of sri lanka and singapore and heard lots of exciting stuff about australia.

Is there anyway we could get round this without spending more than £1500? we've been quoted on the trip in vice versa from round the world flights.com and it comes to around £1800..

*So if anyone can help us with... more »
