Here is an idea, roaming through 25 countries in 212 days, with six backpackers, a camera, a blog, and a mission to see it all. What makes it an interesting idea is that the entire operation will be web based, with the journey documented using the web and broadcast on
GlobeRoamerTV.
What makes the idea particularly interesting is founder, Eric Odom's view that "There are millions of travelers who leave their homes every year seeking adventure, off the beaten path journeys, and life changing experiences" who the mainstream travel media is letting down by giving "a false sense of reality on what it's all about." Eric and his team intend "taking old traditional entertainment out of the hands of corporations, and putting it into the hands of the travelers themselves."
They intend beginning with a journey through Europe on September 1st, 2008, and have obviously given a lot of thought to planning the schedule, arriving in Munich on the opening day of Oktoberfest!
