Tweet Of The Week: Taking The Bus Straight To Antarctica

January 5, 2010 at 3:26 PM | by JetSetCD | 2 Comments

We love Tuesdays. Why, you ask? Because the day brings many travel tips and quips as "Travel Tuesday" on Twitter, and we're going to share our favorite with you. Got an avid travel twitterer we should follow? Let us know.

On January 1, National Geographic Traveler contributing editor Andrew Evans set out from Washington DC on a 10,000-mile journey by a myriad of public buses, which will eventually take him to Antarctica. He is tweeting the entire way, which right now features 120-character descriptions of Mexico outside his bus window.

His beautiful bits of bus musings are currently helping us get through the slow and uphill-style work days that come after the holidays, and you'll also quickly wish to be riding beside him with irreverent scenes such as this:

On the bus, all are still asleep. Outside, a man in a straw hat walks uphill, pushing a wheelbarrow & inside it: a 25-inch TV.

That's just one of the things he's twittered today, en route now to Mexico City, and with Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Argentina yet to go before he boards the National Geographic ship for Antarctica, we can look forward plenty more enlightening and uplifting tweets from Andrew on the road. Follow him at Bus2Antarctica.

    Great call!

    Andrew's Tweet about the guy next to him on a Greyhound bus getting busted for firing up a joint in the Greensboro, NC station is among my all-time favorite Tweets.
