Vectis Birder
Itchy feet
I am thinking about a trip in late 2011/early 2012, preferably southern hemisphere or around the Equator. I was thinking about Australia but I've been there, done that. Ditto Ecuador (which I love) and Thailand.
I am a lone traveller, on a bit of a budget, so I won't be staying in flash hotels or joining tour trips such as those with Tropical Birding or Sunbird, etc - I am sure these are fabulous trips but they're beyond my means and the single supplements are ridiculous - but I am looking to go somewhere that isn't too expensive, has reasonably easy birding (recently-diagnosed arthritis in my knees means I can't go scrambling up hill and down dale any more), a nice lot of colourful birds, is warm (it doesn't have to be tropical but a good chance of decent weather would be nice), easy to get around and is fairly safe for a lone female traveller such as myself.
I'd kind of like an African destination as I have not been to Africa before, although any ideas are welcome.
Any suggestions? Or am I asking a bit much?
Cheers
