2 years turns into 6!
we (husband and I) decided to 'do' a RTW - take 2 years out. However, here we are 6 years on and still only half-way through....
We thought that -after 2 years- if we hadnt quenched our thirst for travel we may as well continue. We had 'given up' all that we had anyway- so why not continue.
I suppose the real answer to how long? depends on what you feel when you enter a country. Do you feel satisfied with the time you've spent there or do you want to have more time?
What sacrifices are you making to do this trip? What I mean is...are you taking a sabatical or giving up the job completely? Renting out your home or selling it? Leaving a loved one at home? All of these will determine just how much time you will eventually be away on your RTW.
Yes..of course money comes into it...but when you havent got much to start with it doesnt seem to be that much of a problem!
sorry if all this sounds a bit flippant....mindsets seem to change once you get on the road.
hope you have a great ride...
