I haven’t read the entire website yet, but from first look, and a report over at Google Maps Mania, it seems this guy used twitter to make his way from the UK to New Zealand — all on the backs of kind strangers (not their figurative backs). He did it all in 30 days, and it was for charity, and he is a journalist. Seems like an interesting twist on the One Red Paperclip idea.
