Follow These Round-The-World Trips, in Progress

My web friend and fellow southerner (at least he lives in the south nowadays), Rick Ingersoll, aka the Frugal Travel Guy, is taking us all along on his round-the-world vacation. He and his wife Katy are now in the Swiss Alps. Follow along on his blog.

Gary Arndt, who runs the site EverythingEverywhere, has been on the road for two-plus years now. He's also in Europe at the moment. Check out his really interesting post titled How I Manage A Travel Blog On The Road.

Our own big round-the-world adventure began the day after Christmas 1994 and lasted until April 1995, covering 22 countries, and we've since done two more, shorter RTW trips. In 1995, there were no blogs, so the only coverage that lives on is the occasional story from back then (some of which are here).

In a couple of months, though, we invite you to join us here on CS&W as we explore Urumqi & the Kashi (Kashgar) Sunday market in western China, and then cross the 12,310 foot (3752 meter) Torugart Pass into Kyrgyzstan and travel on to Kazakhstan from there.

Trips of any length are good as long as you get what you want out of them. Some people think less than 6 months is a waste. Some people think a round the world trip of 2 years is way too long. The length of time is an individual choice. As long as you get out and see the world, you'll be fine.

Agreed, Brian. To paraphrase Nike, "Just go!"
