For Men who like a good boot on their feet.
Absolutely not. At some that person was sober and made the decision to drink or continue drinking. If you are the type of person that will say or do things you regret when drunk then you should not drink. Some people (people who get violent, refus...
@ E. Jahn - When I traveled in 2005, there was internet access on one main computer that was only accessed by the top several officers. I'm assuming it was done by using satellite. They did let me check my email a couple times...I only used it whe...
Great info.
Now, what about Internet access? I can't imagine doing something like that and not blogging about it.
Does anyone know how you can get from Sydney to Cape Town- or is that one of those shipping routes that doesn't exist?
This is one of those things that I had planned to do in college but life seemed to get in the way.
I've been trying to scheme a way to do this for years. I haven't had the opportunity to etch out a block of time to do this, but it'd definitely up there in my priorities.
Fascinating! I admit I feel prey to a few of those myths. I've been interested in taking such a trip recently. I appreciate the advice and inspiration, as well as the great story.
to me it means....acting civilized and cultured in a manner that doesn't make anyone else feel uncivilized or uncultured.

How to cross the ocean on a freighter ship
At the Port of Long Beach, California, I boarded a freighter named the Punjab Senator. Twenty-two days later I got off the ship in Singapore after a winter crossing of the Pacific. This trip wasn’t for everyone, but it was definitely an adventure I’ll remember for the rest of my life. This is what you need to know to get started…

International Backpacking 101
I have circumnavigated the earth on a shoestring budget without the use of airplane, traveling through 43 countries via land and sea. By traveling on a freighter ship across the north Pacific, camel-trekking through the Sahara, and riding a horse at full gallop across the wide open Mongolian countryside, I not only learned about the forty-three countries I traveled through, but I picked up a few great backpacking tips. Here I've included some of most useful tips.

- Hi Joseph,
I was wondering if you had any advice for a college student wanting to travel the world safely, but with plenty of room to experience many different things, i.e. no tourist places.
Thank you,
Chris

- Hi Joseph, I am interested in traveling the world as soon as possible, hopefully this summer. I'm also interested like Joshua Tyler in how you landed a place on a freighter ship. I don't have any specific plans yet, but any info about sea passage would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

- Hi Joseph. I'm planning a trek around the Caribbean basin in a year or two, and in order to get to Mexico I really want to go by freighter rather than a passenger plane. Being as you did something very similar to get across the Pacific, do you have any advice on how to get a place on a ship? Did you work on board with the crew to earn your stay or were you just a passenger? Any advice would be extremely useful as this is the main obstacle in my plan.
Regards,
J
