What would YOU do?

Assuming it was my first trip again and i hadnt been anywhere, i would absolutely without a doubt head to Thailand.

Then i would see if i could blag myself an extra month! ;-)

18 and in need of an adventure????

Madagascar or Tajikistan......for tonight anyway.

Maybe the same tomorrow,or maybe somewhere completely different.....

I presume you would fly from UK since you quote in GBP.

Absolutely not to Thailand or anywhere in SEA for starters. Too common don'tcha know. Who is that gonna impress.

I mean if you are really into having an 'adventure' then you gotta do a bit better than that. Adventure by definition requires two things. The unknown and risk. So I'd opt for somewhere like the Sudan or Ethiopia maybe. Any of the poorer war-torn African countries would fit the bill really.

So, do you really want an adventure or just a vacation? How big are your cojones?

SE Asia, definitely! Different enought to the UK but easy enough to travel for a first timer!
Orrrrrrr, Vodkatrain/Trans-mongolian.
Go and bum around the beaches of Goa or the cheaper countries in South America.
I found interrailing round Europe awesome when I was 18!

Yeah but you didn't have an adventure cressida. You were just a poor budget tourist on vacation. The OP wants an 'adventure'. ;-)

I'd go to Socotra, currently #1 on my "travel-wantlist".

think id choose India.....my 2500 would certainly last more than a month.

I have many many - actually too many places on my "list"
Bolivia, Namibia, Ethiopia just to name a few places
