Gap Year

[Overdriven]

I can always suggest India. I've been there 3 times now and it's always a great experience. Friendly people, hectic and some good places to visit. Food is good and varied although had the obligatory messed up stomach on ocassion.

Thailand is also a great option and a fairly standard choice on the backpacker trail. Great food, amazing beaches on the islands and if you do go, I strongly reccomend a visit to Chang Mai in the north to do some proper trekking.

Anyway enjoy. Travelling is always a great experience.

Strudog - you should try and form your own mini-expedition to do a Yeti search in Nepal & Tibet.

The Yeti is just Reinhold Messner

♪ Hurrah Reinhold Messner, he is such an awesome alpinist, he climbs the biggest mountains of the world to find  the most pure water there is ♫

"In 1986, South Tyrolean mountaineer Reinhold Messner claimed to have a face-to-face encounter with a Yeti. He wrote a book, My Quest for the Yeti, and claims to have killed one. According to Messner, the Yeti is actually the endangered Himalayan brown bear, Ursus arctos isabellinus, or Tibetan blue bear, U. a. pruinosus, which can walk both upright or on all fours."

"October 2013 -Scientist solves the Yeti's mistery
«It is a descendant of the ancient polar bear»
Sykes, analyzed the DNA of the hair of two unknown animals, found in the Himalayas. Messner: «No surprise»

A British scientist may have solved the mystery of the Yeti, the legendary creature of snow: in his opinion it would be a descendant of a polar bear lived tens of thousands of years ago. Bryan Sykes, professor of genetics at Oxford University, analyzed the DNA of the hair of two unknown animals, found in the Himalayas, comparing it with a database of animal genomes. The scientist found that the samples have the same genetic fingerprint of the jaw of an ancient polar bear found in Norway, dating back to at least 40 thousand years ago. The tests, says Sykes, show that the creatures were not related to the modern Himalayan brown bears, but instead descended directly from the prehistoric animal. «It could be a new species, it could be a hybrid between polar bears and brown bears» , the expert explained, adding: «The next thing to do is go and find one» "

Im in Murica now buddy and NYC is beautiful, I only spent about 20 hours there but I managed to go to a fair few places, it's a really nice city.

Try for Boston and DC too, lovely places top go. I'm in PA right now and theres loads of stuff to go to, just pick a state or two and then just travel within those states, you'll find so many cool places to hang out and chill.

Go to New York's Port Authority. I heard it's the best place in the city.
