If you’re interested in coming, there’s no catch, fee, sign-up for credit cards or crazy travel scam, just email me. You don’t have to stay for the whole track, or for any of it: you can meet us someplace for a day if you like. Or stay for a few months. If you do, just post your experience online so I can link to everyone else I’ve traveled, making a patchwork quilt of people you’ve traveled with around the world.
If you’re still reading and can’t wait to eat fried bugs, ride elephants and bamboo raft rivers, then please send an e-mail to mikerudz@gmail.com with the following:
- who you are and a bit about yourself
- why you are interested in coming
- how long you intend to stay(if you have no plan, then we’ll get along great)
- When you plan on joining
Flights to Hong Kong from Los Angeles, round trip and one way:
On train travel in Vietnam and China. The video on the Vietnam page gives a good indication of just how nice the trains are. For further info, the best resource is also Lonely Planet’s Thorn Tree Travel Forum.
Let the great adventure begin! Happy Birthday to me!
