    A Roman palace turned living city, with the islands of the Adriatic at the end of the pier.

    Split grew inside the retirement palace of the emperor Diocletian, and 1,700 years later the palace is still the centre: cafes in the peristyle, apartments in the walls, the cathedral in his mausoleum. Around it is a confident Dalmatian port city of beaches, the Marjan hill forest, a ferry harbour that serves Hvar…

    The largest city on earth, and somehow the most orderly.

    Tokyo is forty million people organised into villages: Shimokitazawa's vintage shops, Yanaka's temple lanes, Koenji's live houses, Nakameguro's canal cafes, Shinjuku's neon and the hushed back streets of Kagurazaka. Trains arrive to the second, convenience stores sell meals that would embarrass restaurants elsewhere…

    Mountains inside the city limits, the fastest internet on earth, and a 24-hour food culture.

    Seoul moves fast: ten million people, a metro that puts most of the world to shame, cafes on every corner serving espresso and ambition, and a night economy that never properly closes. It is also a city of palaces, hanok villages and granite peaks you can hike before breakfast. For long stays it offers safety, speed…

  30. 30Sydney and the east coast AUMay to June: harbour, Byron, the reef, the Red Centre; the year closes.28 noites

    Não temos um perfil completo do destino para Sydney and the east coast ou o seu país ainda, por isso não há dados de custo, clima ou visto para esta paragem; as notas do percurso descrevem o que está envolvido.

January to March: the Americas

Mexico City, Oaxaca and the Yucatan (4 weeks), Guatemala's highlands (2), Colombia's Medellin and coast (3), Peru's Cusco at the end of the rains (3), and Buenos Aires in autumn (2). Patagonia belongs in February if you can fit it.

April to May: Africa

Cape Town in its golden autumn (3 weeks), the Garden Route or a Kruger safari (1), then Zanzibar and a safari in Tanzania's north (3). Morocco's Marrakech, the Atlas and the coast (2) bridge to Europe.

June to August: Europe and the Caucasus

Lisbon and Porto (3 weeks) before the heat peaks, the Balkans by bus (2), Georgia's mountains in high summer (3), Istanbul (1).

September to October: the Himalaya

Kathmandu and a three-week trek in the clear autumn season (5 weeks in Nepal), with a week in the valley either side.

November to February: Southeast Asia

Thailand's north (3 weeks), Laos by rail and river (2), Vietnam top to bottom (4), Cambodia's Angkor (1), Bali and Indonesia's islands (4) through the new year.

March to April: Japan and Korea

Kyoto and Tokyo in blossom season (3 weeks), Seoul and Busan in spring (2).

May to June: Australia

Sydney, the east coast and the Red Centre as the year closes (4 weeks), or substitute New Zealand's South Island in its late summer if you shift the whole route earlier.

Notes on pace

The itinerary above lists 50 weeks of movement; the plan assumes two weeks of nothing, somewhere, which is the most important fortnight of the year. Slow it further by dropping a region entirely rather than shaving days off every stop.

Notas práticas

Visas: the Visa & Work Finder lists each country; apply ahead for Vietnam's e-visa, Australia's ETA/eVisitor, Tanzania's e-visa and any Brazil detour (US, Canadian and Australian citizens need the e-Visa). Health: yellow fever certificate for parts of Africa and South America, malaria prophylaxis for Tanzania, altitude cover for Peru and Nepal, a 12-month policy. Money: the low figure assumes dorms and street food in cheap countries with camping and cooking in expensive ones, at a blended 47 dollars a day plus flights; the mid figure is private rooms, treks and safaris included; high is comfortable everywhere. Keep six months of home expenses funded if you plan to return to a lease or mortgage. Banking and residency: tell your bank, keep a mailing address, check tax-residency rules for absences over six months, and keep a home SIM alive for two-factor codes.
