A year after getting his travel feet wet on a jaunt to the Dominican Republic, Dan is setting out on the biggest trip of his life — a round the word trip through Africa, Asia, Oceania, South America and North America.
Kristin Spencer and her husband are on a mission, one dictated by a ‘higher power’. Wherever they go – so go the ‘sprouts’ (aka their 2 young children). In fact, they are missionaries who’s serves having them traveling the world and it’s a family endeavor. Enjoy the entries of their adventures and the tips on how to make to make it all work.
A 19 year old London black cab, 3 friends, the British Red Cross and the Guinness Book of World Records -what do they all have in common? Normally nothing. But, in this instance – everything. Three friends decided to drive a London black cab from – you guessed it, London to Sydney, Australia – raising money for the British Red Cross and breaking the Guinness Word Record for the longest taxi ride. They broke the record and haven’t even reached Sydney yet.
Life was nice and easy in the US for Rachael and Josh. Then, Josh’s employers gave him the opportunity to work abroad – in Dakar, Senegal to be exact. Rachael being a freelance writer/photographer made the decision to move that much easier. So, they packed up their belongings, including two dogs and headed off to Africa, where they will reside for the next couple of years.

Hi Dan,
A brilliant blog,thanks very much.
Can i be cheeky Dan, and ask if it would be possible to give an idea of the price of common goods as you go through each country. A bit like the ‘shopping baskets’ they use to compare supermarkets! For example 2 or three ‘must have’ items, like a the price of a beer, and maybe the average cost of accomodation? It would be so useful to help me budget for a similar journey to yours.
Thanks very much,
Paul
