Anybody have any RTW trips you're planning/going on? Dream itineraries? Surprisingly economical routes? Experiences to share?

I usually prefer to make one extravagant trip rather than a series of small ones. I feel like it's more exciting in a way and ends up being more economical in the long run. (mostly from buying one way tickets within regions vs round trip tickets back home)
My itinerary for this year looks like this. (pic related):
3 Days: Stockholm
2 Days: Copenhagen
12 Days: Frankfurt (Will be driving a track day at the Nurburgring) / Munich / Bavaria general
2 Days: Prague
3 Days: Hanoi
4 Days: Singapore (Singapore F1 Grand Prix)
5 Days: Melbourne / Victoria general
~1 Day layover: Hong Kong
7 Days: Tokyo
Already have all tickets in hand. The extra number of days in Germany and Japan are because I used to live/work in these countries and spend a lot of time catching up with friends/places/new restaurants/coffee etc.

Seems like a shit idea desu
You fly a lot, have to recover from the traveling and will already be on the next plane within 3 days or so.
And all the stays seem overly short, so youre barely able to see the Top 10 before you have to leave. And you only see the capitals, not the country itself.
2 days for Prague and the surrounding area?
7 days for Tokio?
>economical
Dont talk about being economical while posting this overly expensive shit show of a trip.

May I ask to add the flight hours as well?
For example Singapore to Australia. Plus do you include the time you lose while you are flying on the next stay or do you exclude them?
thx in advance
My main problem with RTW is ticket price.
Don't have enough credit to buy a RTW ticket and that sucks.

this. why would you plan on doing a trip around the world in under 2 months? Just to say that you have done a RTW trip? Better to scratch a few destinations and take your time on each.

not OP
just curious is there an exact definition for RTW?
Pass every longitude?
>>1282698
Circumvent the globe?

RTW tickets usually allow you to go either east or west and you can make a number of stop overs as long as you don't go back. OP says they're more economical but that's not true as it's cheaper to visit 1 region and take budget airlines. Sure you won't circumnavigate the whole world but you can get to more countries that way.
