>>2048416 on the logistics (which I have nothing to really add to - research, save up, go for it is the way to go) I'd like to add a few worthwhile hiking routes/areas which are accessible to beginners
>Romania has world class hiking infrastructure with very well-marked trails and manned huts that provide food and shelter>Scandinavia has well-marked trails, many of which have unmanned huts that may or may not have food stockpiles>Georgia has several beautiful village to village hikes in Svaneti, Tusheti and Kazbegi - cheap flights to Kutaisi and occasionally Tbilisi too>the Alps, I haven't really done any non-mountaineering trekking there, but it's definitely possible>the Pyrenees, was really surprised at their beauty, the Tres Refugios tour on the Spanish side is beautiful and has manned huts as well as camping opportunities>further out, but excellent hiking infrastructure: New Zealand (excellent huts all over the place) and Nepal (only the altitude may be difficult, the popular hikes are baby's first hike levels easy village to village hikes where a day pack suffices otherwise)>bonus 1: expensive flight but Tajikistan, Kulikalon lakes hike in the Fann mountains, you will have to carry a tent or rent a donkey to carry it for you, but there's often shepherd selling/sharing food along the way, and a few old Soviet Alplagers, got treated to two free dinners on the same evening there, amazing landscape (pic related) but a few tough passes>bonus 2: Wakhan corridor in Afghanistan if you're in Tajikistan already, there's bureaucratic hoops which are a bit of a hassle but very manageable, and it's expensive to get there, but the classic hike from Sarhad e Broghil to the Kyrgyz settlements has basic shelters up to the Kyrgyz villages, which all have a guest house, easy hike with decent fitness level, donkeys and guides available if you wish
