Tromso, Norway in the Arctic Circle - Feb. 2016

I’ve been lucky enough to visit some pretty phenomenal places (like the Arctic Circle), but I haven’t had the opportunity to study abroad or even travel abroad for more than a few weeks at a time. Never having lived outside of the United States, I’ve been overwhelmed by all the things I want to experience during my time as a digital nomad.

I have some flights booked and a trickle of freelance dev work, but I’m winging everything else. I don’t have a final return flight booked yet… or know when my trip is ending. Here’s a rough itinerary, but I’d appreciate any travel advice (especially about solo/long term travel) or recommendations on the following:

  1. NYC until mid August with a weeklong backpacking trip in Iceland early August
  2. Fly from the US with my mom (taking her to Europe for the first time) to Athens/Greek Islands in mid August
  3. Fly from Athens to Munich in late August
  4. Spend September traveling (not sure where) and definitely attending Oktoberfest
  5. Spend October at Sun and Co coliving space on the Eastern coast of Spain in Javea
  6. Spend November traveling Spain/Portugal
  7. Fly from Lisbon to the US late November
  8. Spend Thanksgiving to Christmas in Texas with a 10 day trip to the west coast
  9. Fly from the US to Thailand late December for New Years Eve in Phuket
  10. Spend January to March in Thailand with a few weeks in Australia/New Zealand (ideally at least a month living in Chiang Mai)
  11. Fly from Thailand to Vienna in late March
  12. No clue!!

Internet! I want your opinions! What are some things I have to check out on my trip?
