Traveling Cheap....really cheap

British blogger Paul Smith is now my personal hero. He's trying to see how far around the world he can get using only the power of the social networking site Twitter. It reminds me a lot of this game show that was on a few years ago called Beg, Borrow, or Steal (of couse I would hope he wouldnt steal anything lol). In BBoS you had to complete tasks (which I think included traveling) by relying on the goodness of others. Mr. Smith has added an extra dose of feel good by using his travels to raise money for charity:water which works to provide clean drinking water for people in developing countries.

Looks like he's trapsing around LA at the moment after suffering a bit of a defeat in New Zealand when he found out he couldnt go to Campbell Island, a famous and vitally important (ecologically speaking) unihabited island that is also a World UNESCO Heritage Site.
