"Around the World for Free!"
georgiapeach:
Alex Boylan (winner of TAR 2 with Chris) has a new venture!
He will be doing an Internet show launching tomorrow morning between 8 and 9 AM on TES!
The premise? He is going to go around the world again (buddy Chris will be the cameraman) with no $$ at all. He will be relying totally on "the kindness of strangers" and tips from us, the Internet viewers.
See the Intro video, and read MORE HERE.
From Alex:
--- Quote ---CBS Early Show on CBS next Tuesday, September 18th (THIS WILL BE THE LIVE LAUNCH so make sure you tune in and tell all your friends!)
We will be leaving the Early Show in NYC and heading south along the East Coast towards Florida and then hopefully onwards to the Caribbean! So here's your first chance to input on the show - - If you know anyone who wants to be part of this leg of the journey and has a ride, place to crash, a boat, or valuable connection, please log on to http://www.aroundtheworldforfree.com and send me (Alex) a message (use the button on the top grey menu bar).
Well, that's it guys... next time I talk to you it will be from the road. I hope you enjoy the show and some of the videos we have uploaded to date!! Lots more on the way soon!
Cheers and never stop traveling!!
Alex Boylan

Anybody want to watch with me?? Sounds like fun!

Peach, I know that several sources have erroneously reportedly that AR2 teammate Chris Luca will be accompanying Alex as his cameraman. If you look on the AroundtheWorldforFree website, you will find that Zsolt Luka (last name very close, accounting for the confusion) is the actual cameraman. Chris is not going on ATWFF.

Darn! I did kind of wonder about that! :groan:
Here is the real cameraman: http://www.aroundtheworldforfree.com/html/about.html
Thanks for the fix! :dancer:

As you track Alex's progress on the "Around the World" website and watch his weekly reports for The Early Show, you'll find out where he's hoping to head to next. And as he heads there, he'll be looking for advice, a friendly local face, maybe even a place to stay for the night. Have you been to a small town along the way and know some interesting information, pass it on.
If you live near where Alex is headed, or know someone who is nearby, you can let Alex know on his site and help him on that leg of his trip. Have a friend there who needs to hire some help? Alex is looking for work. Have a cousin with a restaurant who might want to give Alex a meal? Alex would definitely like a free lunch. If he's in their neck of the woods, he'll likely stop by.

Update: http://www.aroundtheworldforfree.com/
They were nervous about getting out of Manhatten but got a promise of a ride to Jersey from a construction worker.
But meanwhile, a woman named Debbie in Florence, SC sent them 2 train tickets--so they jumped on that-- and put them up in her house last night. They are going to visit some Florence hot-spots (is that an oxymoron? :lol: ) today and then hope to continue the journey onwards--still trying to hook up with a way to get to the Caribbean! (me too! :rotf:)
Hmmm...SC and Georgia aren't that far apart! :lol3:
