A trip around the world is the pinnacle experience for many travel lovers. So many of us dream about taking more than just our typical one or two week vacations. We yearn to hit the road for months at a time, maybe even a year, maybe even longer. That dream has become a reality for many people, and our sister site over at BootsnAll has been revamping, updating, and adding content to the round the world section of their site. If you are interested in making your travel dreams come true, be sure to check out their round the world planning resources for everything you need to know about planning your own RTW trip.

If you are one of those dreamers who has decided to take off on your own epic adventure, you are probably wondering where to go. For those of us living in the northern hemisphere, a country like Australia seems so far away and difficult to get to, but if you are planning an extended trip, making Australia part of your trip makes sense. Time is finally on your site. If you do decided to go to Australia, then you might want to add Melbourne to your RTW trip itinerary.
