Default The Slow Travel Manifesto

It may seem contrarian to post an article about travelling around the world without ever using an airplane, but reasonable minds have to agree that this is quite intriguing. I've always wanted to do something like this - sail along in a cargo ship, hump a camel through the desert, bike around the backroads. So romantic!

Morning Vagabond,

Google "Michael Palin; Around the World in 80 days".

It was on Discovery, or NatGeo a while back I think. There's a book as well. Kinda like a would tour with a hint of Monty Python.

Was fun to watch.
