Around the World in 1000 Wines (Or One Outfit)

April 20, 2007 at 9:15 AM | 0 Comments

You can just go somewhere on holiday, have a good time and go home again, or you can be a Rogue Traveller. The BootsnAll site sponsors a few quirky journeys a year, as long as you have a sufficiently weird reason for giving up your day job and traveling long 'n' hard.

Our favorite rogue traveler is a guy named Kelsey Timmerman, who decided he'd trek 'round the world to find the places where his clothing was made, overcrowded garment factories and all. He's currently making himself famous in Bangladesh (the locals thought he was Tom Cruise) and you can read up on him at Where Am I Wearing?

And while Kelsey's trip at least has some kind of socially conscious slant, you have to congratulate Brianne and CJ, a couple who dreamt up the 1000 Wines trip. Right now they're drinking their way around Mediterranean Europe and plan to sample 1000 wines during their 16 month 'round-the-world journey. Hmm, social conscience holder or wine taster: which kind of traveler are you?
