I posted a while back here about that I'm going on a world

When are you going? I also plan to travel through asia next year.

Do you have a gear list? Would be very interesting for me.

Japan for a year. I've applied for a working holiday visa. After that, I think I'll head to Australia or China.

I do at home, I'll post it when I get back.

Make friends, you're inevitably going to meet other travellers and interesting people. Stay in touch with your friends back home, pretty easy to do in this age.

I'll be traveling the Japanese countryside, so I doubt I'll find fellow travelers that often.

You'd be surprised, you are not the only person in the world who's thought "gee, it would be nice to tramp around the Japanese country side". Also, try and learns little Japanese just in case.

Also, you will get lonely and miss home. That happens to pretty much everybody on a long journey. As long as you accept that you can prepare yourself mentally for it. Just admitting to yourself that it's going to happen helps because then it's not going to take you like some crushing surprise. Like I said, find a way to keep in touch with people back home, e-mail, Facebook, Skype, etc. Take a day every now and then to have a warm shower, a hot meal and be around other people (any thru hiker will tell you how important a good rest day is). Keep a journal, it's not only a good way to log your travels, it's a good way to organize your thoughts and work through your feelings.
