13 Epic and Slightly Crazy Travel Adventures
Many people dream of going on big adventures; only a few ever do it. For this article, I found 13 individuals, couples and families who had the guts to embark on epic adventures. You may envy them, or you may think they’re crazy. But I guarantee that their stories will inspire you.
The World By Sea
In November 2007, Derek set out with his friend to sail around the world, while helping charities and communities along the way by raising funds on his blog.
Going Solo: Interview with Debby
Debby has travelled up and down Europe, Vietnam and Alaska on her own, and she's visited Australia, New Zealand and Iceland with friends and family. Most recently, Debby circumnavigated the Baltic Sea for a little over two weeks, squeezing in visits to seven capital cities.
Debby now blogs about her travel experiences on Beth Whitman's Wanderlust and Lipstick, a site dedicated to encouraging solo women travellers.
I caught up with her to talk about her recent trip to the Baltics and her perspective on travelling solo.
Slow Travel
Ed and Fiona are on a Round the World trip with a twist: they won’t fly. They’ll take every mode of transport around and revel in the slow movement throughlandscape, culture, people and language - instead of passing over it all in an aluminium sausage. (Interview with Ed)
Flightless Round the World: Interview with Ed Gillespie
Ed and Fiona are a couple from the United Kingdom on a year-long trip around the world, with one major twist: they're doing it flightless. Passing up the convenience of flying, they're travelling by bus, train, cargo ship, bicycle, or any other flightless mode of transport.
They're avoiding air travel to keep their environmental footprint to a minimum, but also because they relish the journey. Rather than jetting miles above the earth's crust, they prefer travelling slower, savouring the cultures and landscapes they encounter along the way.
