I don't usually do Jealous but . . . .

My cousin has tipped me over the edge She graduated Uni, got a job and saved like mad for a year then flew off on her dream backpacking, hostel dwelling trip around the world with a friend

She's currently in Thailand and visited this place . . .

Wow .Great photos She is very lucky to have this opportunity and to see some of the world

Ok, only slightly jealous, honest...

my housemate is doing this! Graduating then going travelling for 9 months... maybe i'm strange but im anything but jealous. She's spending her life savings on, what is at the end of the day, a holiday, when you're already 18k odd in debt, thus meaning she can't leave her parents house for god knows how long after, I love my mother, but I really don't want to be someone who is living with their parents in their late twenties. I also don't do backpacking, I need a proper loo and at least one shower/bath a day!

Don't get me wrong what your cousin is doing looks amazing, but the whole travelling thing isn't for me

WOW amazing photos. Thanks for posting.

A wow from me too. It's a great oppportunity to do this whilst young without ties leaving her a life time of memories. Yes, I am a little green
