RTW People

Some may think my traveling around the world is a crazy idea, but in fact, outside the USA, it's pretty normal. Everytime I've gone away before, I've always run into a Brit, Aussie, Canadian, or Kiwi that was on sabbatical for a year, touring the world. They all thought I was crazy at the time for only going away for "two weeks."

I'm not the only American that I know from around here that's going around the world for a year or more. Last night, I went to a farewell dinner for my friend Claudia, who is leaving to go RTW for a year, beginning this Sunday, 8/3.

If you can't wait to live vicariously through my blog, you can live through hers:

If you enjoy this daily travel blog, please post a comment! Give me suggestions, send me on missions, let me know how things are going back home in the USA. Knowing that I have an audience will only force me to make this blog more entertaining as the days go by. Donīt forget to bookmark it and let a friend know!

Erik,

Since receiving your email (which has thoroughly inspired me), I have sent it to several colleagues and friends. Everyone has RAVED about the slideshow...I even caught two people checking a world map in an empty office planning where they would like to go!! The fever is catching, my friend...
