I’ve decided having one featured video each day, is a bit much. Apart from the difficult task of watching at least half a dozen videos each day, and selecting the best, I’ll also eventually run out of videos at this rate. So from now on I’ll be doing one video per week, every Monday. That’s today, kids!
On a related note, I’ve also been thinking about my “features”, ie; blog of the week, site of the week, etc.
From now on, this are the features and when they will appear:
Mondays
- Video of the week
- Plans update
Tuesdays
Wednesdays
- Site of the week
- Destination Itinerary
Thursdays
Fridays
Saturdays
- Where the heck is that?
- Last weeks’ Where-the-heck revealed
Sundays
- Best of the Blog: Last week
Anytime

Another video by michaelewald1980 which is even more inspiring than the Cambodian one…When i go traveling, i have a particular interest in China and intend to spend as long as possible there (I heard there’s 90-day multiple entry visas?) so i particularly liked this video.
An interesting video entitled “Hirschberg” about one guy’s attempt to scale a mountain near Munich, Germany. Enjoy!
I made a massive modification to my old theme…so now I’ve pretty much got a new theme for my blog. It’s a dark grey/red color scheme, and I’ve added a top-bar thingo for my up-coming sites. Pretty much just a navigation bar for my “network”.
On a related note; If anyone has any ideas for a blog subject/niche, or if someone would like me to host their blog, then feel free to contact me. I’m looking for people to post on some new blog ideas i have, so don’t hesitate. Of course all revenue will be split.
Leaving your job and your career to travel and explore the world for a year is pretty crazy, right? Well what about taking your wife and FOUR kids with you? Insane, right? Impossible? Not so!
Sixintheworld.com follows a family of six around the world over 6 continents and 31 countries. It’s an inspiring story for not along RTW-ers, and Travlers, but aspiring families aswell. Check it out

A video about backpacking in Cambodia by michaelewald198. I found it very inspiring - check it out!
Hrmmm somehow my Unique Visitors went from 17 (yesterday) to 43 (today). That’s a massive jump - and that’s only so far. There’s still over an hour and a half left of today. I’m aiming for 50 by the end of the night! Maybe this is a good time to set some realistic goals.
I suppose this might just be a one-off, so tomorrow the number might be back down around 20 or so…But that’s okay. So i can’t expect to be up to 50 again tomorrow, so i’ll try to be realistic. Here are my goals:
- 25 Uniques/Day within 2 weeks
- 50 Uniques/Day within 2 months
- 100+ Uniques/Day within 6 months
Now, that’s not unreasonable. I think that’s achievable as well. Good luck to me!

This guy is one of the first RTW bloggers i read. I don’t think it was really a blog - I think he typed up his journal when he got home and put it on the web. Anyway, he traveled around the world, starting in Japan (leaving from England) in 2004, i think, and this is his first video; of his Asian journey. I won’t spoil the story for those who want to read it, so here’s the link;
A Year In The Life
I found this video on lonelyplanet.tv and it’s really awesome. It makes me want to go to India, even though there’s not many sights or interesting things in this video…just some guy skating around. But it still wets my appetite for travel…e
