If I start in europe, first stop will be Dubai ( maldives maybe ) then India , SE asia, korea, japan, singapore , australia, South america europe... ( maybe USA in between )

That'll be nice if I can add south africa and kenya in between..
Based on your desired itinerary and timeframe I'd look into accumulating more AA miles as the explorer award would seem to be ideal for your purposes (160k in Y for 35,000+ miles flow). You will have a tough time avoiding fuel surcharges, but with a little planning hopefully you can minimize them.
