Around the world in (almost) 360 days

After years of talking about it, it’s finally time!

Time to drop everything and explore the seven corners of the globe on a year-long, round-the-world trip.

Well, perhaps a little more than seven. Here’s the itinerary:

November 2008: Philippines
December: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Burma
January: Bangladesh, India
February: Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana
March: Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco
April: Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece
May: Central Europe
June: Eastern Europe
July: Chechnya, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan
August: Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela

Armed with a backpack, a couple cameras, a few clothes and a healthy dose of wanderlust, it’s time to head west and see what’s out there.

I’ll be posting updates (and pictures) via this blog as I go. (Special thanks to my friend Tom Karels at www.etomco.com for the awesome blog site design.)

First stop: Philippines!
