The earth’s circumference is 24,901 miles. Pretty long, right? But when we talk about round-the-world trips, it’s not to travel this length in one fell swoop (you can’t anyway – you’d run out of fuel and probably end up arse over tit in Siberia), but to visit the amazing places that our world has to offer. With different sights, sounds and smells, people to meet, wildlife to watch and cultures to immerse yourself in, there are some incredible routes you can take – and they all begin at your front door. For an epic round-the-world travel idea, StudentUniverse’s Wanderlust takes you through Asia, the South Pacific and the USA, with destinations you’ll remember for a lifetime…

So Long London, Hello Delhi

Direct flights from London to Delhi take just over eight hours, and you couldn’t ask for a bigger culture shock than the Indian capital territory for your first destination. Busy streets with fruit and veg stalls and affluent architecture reside side-by-side with mischievous monkeys and annual events including the colourful and celebrated Holi Festival. Further afield, the Pink City of Jaipur, and Agra, home to the Taj Mahal, lay just a train ride away.

Lakes & Laneways Of Hanoi

Leave Delhi for Bangkok, hop on a domestic flight and arrive in Hanoi, the Vietnamese capital. With influences from all over the world you can get lost in the maze of laneways, houses and shops in the Old Quarter. From Hanoi, you can easily discover Ha Long Bay, with its majestic waters and towering limestone islands.

Bustling Bangkok

Embark on the exhilarating journey to Bangkok on the overground train. Full of interesting locals and travellers, this fun voyage will prepare you for the shock that is Bangkok. Open your eyes to glorious temples, ride a tuk tuk, jump on a riverboat and experience the wild nightlife in Thailand’s crazy capital, before escaping on a tour of Thailand’s many amazing islands, including Koh Phangan in the southeast, home of the Full Moon Party!

Singapore Highlights

One of the richest cities in the world, Singapore is a global financial hub attracting the busiest and wealthiest businessmen and women from around the world. While the skyscrapers may tower spectacularly over the CBD, Singapore is one of the greenest cities in the world, with the dreamlike landscape that is Gardens By The Bay.

Take Your Breath Away In Bali

Less than a three-hour flight from Singapore is the blue water paradise of Bali. An island of rice paddies, breathtaking mountains, beautiful sunsets, ocean activities and a precious ambience, there are countless areas of Bali to relax and rejuvenate in the middle of your round-the-world trip. Ride bikes in Canggu, go surfing in Padang Padang and visit the mystical water temples, including Ulun Danu Temple in Tabanan.

Sun It Up In Sydney

Leave Asia for the sun, sand and sea of Sydney, Australia! An iconic city, there is so much to do here. Check out the Sydney Opera House, climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, meet a kangaroo, hold a koala, eat and drink at amazing restaurants and bars, and soak up the atmosphere on the famous Bondi Beach. Sydney is also the perfect start for an East Coast Australian adventure, travelling up to Byron Bay, the Gold Coast, Cairns and Port Douglas.

An Adrenaline Rush In Queenstown

Get ready for the adrenaline capital of the world as you arrive in Queenstown. A city on New Zealand’s South Island, its landscape of snowy mountains, rolling hills and lakes holds a menu of amazing activities such as skiing, bunjy jumping, jet boating, kayaking, rock climbing, quad biking, wine tours and more.

Urban Meets Island In Auckland

Queenstown doesn’t get to have all the action. Hopping over to the North Island, Auckland is home to New Zealand’s tallest building – the Sky Tower – which you can bunjy jump off of at a screaming 85km per hour! When your feet are firmly back on the ground, embrace the mixture of restaurants, bars, galleries and shopping, or escape to one of the surrounding islands like Waiheke or Great Barrier for leisurely cycling, kayaking and Maori cultural experiences.

Stars & Stripes Of Los Angeles

Onwards from the South Pacific, you arrive on the land of the free and home of the brave (according to their national anthem, anyway) – United States of America. Los Angeles, to be precise, in southern California. Nicknamed the City of Angels and home of the Hollywood sign, L.A. is where dreams in film and TV are made, you can take tours through Hollywood neighbourhoods to see where the stars live, and visit studios such as Universal and Warner Brothers.

The Shores Of San Francisco

Take the Coast Starlight to San Francisco in the north of California. Located on the tip of a peninsular, it is a photographer’s haven with fantastic views in and around the city, whether the picturesque Golden Gate Bridge is bathed in fluffy fog or not.

Return To London

Your round-the-world trip comes to an end as you return back to London. With so many memories made, experiences enjoyed and destinations discovered, Wanderlust will leave your travel urges highly fulfilled – until next time…
