Me and my girlfriend both make somewhere about $66k - $70k a year and share the same dream. Also we been friends since high school so I trust her and she trusted me fo over the years we've been together. Anyway, how much money do I need to spend? Who do I contact? What agencies?

I hope you're not talking all those places in one trip! That'll cost a fortune! Do one at a time! That would cost at least $100,000 to see those all at once.

Hi John, I like your idea travelling around the world. Last year I travelled 10 months through Central and South America and it was so much fun. Anyway, you should purchase a Round-The-World Ticket from "Star Alliance", which includes well over 20 different airlines. You can purchase a Round-The-World Ticket for 29K miles, 34K miles, 39K miles, or an Economy Round-The-World Ticket for 26K miles. Depending which one you are buying they are kind of inexpensive, probably starting at around $ 3,000/person. Their website is: http://www.staralliance.com/en/fares/round-the-world-fare/ When planing the trip you should NOT include all the cities mentioned in your Round-The-World Ticket. For example, let's say you start in Europe. Fly to Great Britain, and from there take either a train to other countries within Europe (it's a lot of fun travelling by train), or purchase tickets from local carriers within Europe, or within a region where you are. This will save you a lot of money. Regarding accommodation, some countries like Colombia, India, etc. are very inexpensive, and other countries are more expensive of course. In those expensive countries you can stay at hostels. Book through either www.hostels.com or www.hostelbookers.com For food, eat where the locals eat and avoid the tourist restaurants. The total cost of your Round-The-World Trip really depends of course how long you wanna stay. I would say a 6 months trip should cost you about $ 15,000. per person. Have a great trip.
