by Dave on November 16, 2007 · 6 comments

I’ve posted 239 times in the last 10 months and that’s A LOT of writing. I thought it’d be a good time to look back and pluck out a few of my favorite pre-trip posts for the newer readers.

  1. Saving for a Trip Around the World (6-part series)
  2. Couchsurfing – A Brilliant Social Network for Travelers (3-part series)
  3. My Backpack Tells a Story
  4. 5 Reasons Why I Travel
  5. Would You Accept a Sponsored Trip Around the World?
  6. Picking a Trek: Annapurna Circuit v. Everest Base Camp (Jake Norton commented, sharing advice with me – he has climbed Mt. Everest twice!)
  7. Top 5 Adrenaline Rushes in New Zealand (see what I’ll be doing next month!)
  8. Blue Ribbon Manhattan – New York City’s Best Late Night Dining (photos: bone marrow and rack of lamb)
  9. Cambodia and The Killing Fields
  10. Dental Dilemma (4-part series about getting an implant)

10 Days! So much useful content here Dave and I have been making a lot of use of it lately. It’s been invaluable to my own planning. Post Soon.

Thanks Dan. Glad I can “pay it forward” in some way.

I don’t think the reality of what I’ve decided to undertake has really hit me yet. Maybe that’s a good thing. I’m going to try and take it all one country at a time – at least that’s what I keep telling myself!
