Booking

Practicalities Types of Holiday Round the World Booking 

Given the length of a trip like this it would be possible to busk as you go along. However, particularly with small children, some booking ahead would make life more relaxed.

If you do want to organise accommodation in advance you will need to use either a good guidebook or the help of a specialist tour operator, using different ones for different areas.

Note that although they can offer decent prices for flights and a reasonable range of accommodation options in larger cities, specialists in round-the world itineraries cannot offer the range of places to stay you should ideally be looking at.
