Round the world in…? At the end of the 19th century the most daring bet to engage in was the challenge to travel round the world in 80 days. Today you can travel round the world in about a day or so almost without having to leave your flight seat at all. But actually the 80 days still make sense...
When it comes to modern travelers 2-3 months is the estimated time period you should pull from your calendar if you want to make a satisfactory backpacker journey or trip round the world. You can do it faster but your travel experiences would suffer gravely. Most people estimate between 3 months and a whole year to complete this project. Naturally, it depends on the number of destinations, the time spent travelling and transportation method (land/water/air), what you want to experience, budget etc.
