Need inspiration!

[pejay]

I'm in need of a holiday but need some inspiration on destinations.

I like the idea of just booking a flight somewhere, renting a car/4x4 and taking each day as it comes with no fixed destinations/hotel bookings. I've a similar thing by motorbike before and it's worked well.

I've travelled quite a bit in Europe and would prefer to try something a bit different. South America maybe?

Budget is £3-4k for 2 people (~14days).

Any suggestions?

California?

Greece this time of year is gorgeous!
Not America i know but worth a go if never been there before.

How adventurous do you want to be?

Laos is meant to be an amazing place on a bike, especially the north. Flying into Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur is cheap enough and it's within easy reach. I would be impressed if you got through £3-4k in that region too

Have a look on www.advrider.com too - the Ride Reports section on there has reports from trips across the world! Mexico and South America seem to be very well covered

Wow!

Some great stories on that forum. I like the guy who went from Sydney to London on a moped. Inspirational stuff

I regularly lose a few hours on that site. Nathan's trip is still my favourite though. This trip runs it close too, an Estonian couple going across the world for 1000 days - http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48...

That'd be my choice.

Fly to San Fran, bit of time there, then Napa, Tahoe, & Yosemite. Maybe Sequoia if you have time.
