Around the world by rowboat. I've been following Colin and Julie's adventure. Now you can read all about it in her new best-selling book. From the rugged highlands of Scotland husband-and-wife team Julie and Colin Angus rowed 6,500 km to Aleppo, Syria in the heart of the Middle East. Their course followed ancient transportation corridors traditionally used for trade and migration. They experienced the rich cultural tapestry that comprises present Europe and the Middle East in a manner that continues to promote environmentally responsible travel as with their previous travels.

Around the world by Car. The 2008 Friendship Rally. I met Rick & Diana Dyke-Price in Bryce Canyon National Park, a beautiful stop over for any world traveler. They were traveling from Alaska to Panama in their classic 1959 Austin Healey. I found them to be extraordinarily kind with their time and inspirational to the many curious onlookers. Too bad we can't all see the world like this, but at least we all get to share the journey. Read more. (10-16-2008)

Ian Hibell — A man who lived by the bicycle and died by the bicycle. Here's a bicycle tourer that makes me feel like I should take the training wheels off my bike. Ian traveled 10 times further than what I did, about the equivalent of 10 times around the equator over his 40-year travel career. Apparently he was the first man to ride from the top of the Americas to the bottom, including the Darien Gap in Panama, which is a swamp land full of banana boats and drug smugglers. He did a lot of truly amazing things, but was unfortunately killed last August by a hit and run accident in Greece. Read a tear-jerker about Ian in the Economist. Click here. (10-05-2008)

Scooter Granny In my attempt to shamelessly promote my upcoming book, I've decided to revitalize The Argonauts and, once again, feature other people in their primordial hero's quests. And who else better to feature than my own mother? Dad has become a recent motorcycle addict and had finally convinced mom to spin her wheels. Here we see her out for 2 hours on the road. Next she'll be riding around the world. (09-13-2008) Stay tuned as we feature blurbs about amazing people doing amazing things.
