New favorite blog!

No Baggage Challenge. Writer traveling around the world with only the stuff he can carry on him. Sponsored by a company that makes travelwear with zillions of pockets, natch, but the blog entries really aren't too much about that. Witness, for example, the video of him* embracing his inner tourist at Giza.**

He's much more enjoyable to read than most of the little-to-no-baggage people who write articles about it, who usually come off as UR VACATION, UR DOIN IT RONG.



* He's accompanied by a videographer, but as part of the challenge, he can't borrow anything from him, and can't give him anything to carry.


** It's a grand tradition to go to see the Pyramids and bitch about all the tourists: Herodotus was doing it 2500 years ago.

Ack! I'd meant to keep up with his challenge! Thanks for the reminder. I SO want to do this.
