Man. I am having a hard enough time to get my wife and I from HYZ to FRA let along try to figure out a round the world trip, which would be nice though.

If you are going to Samoa and Fiji, may be you should check Tuvalu
Islands which is only ~4m above the see level
and can disappear shortly from the World atlas.

You definitely need get Belarus visa in advance, also you probably
will be forced to buy state medical insurance

And you can take a train from Vilnius to Minsk
I think it will be more interesting then taking a bus.

It’s not only about promoting the book, but also about meeting readers all over the country. And yep, we’re building a site where people can sign up to come out.

Chris,

With ways to market your book on the Internet why are you wasting time doing old fashion book tours?

I hope you are double dipping by giving business cards to everyone about your blog. Maybe your fans in each city can get a crowd of non-conformist out to your signings. Have a virtual assistant contact green clubs in each city. You may have already thought of that.

If you give us a schedule we could all e-mail our friends in that city.

I’m just contemplating my (alas) single (long) trip for the year. (I don’t count the short trips.)

I’ve been lurking now for a few months but had to comment on the Cameroon to Gabon overland portion. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Bitam – many years ago. Vehicles got stuck on the dirt/mud road, often. The local kids would always help to push the trucks out of the mud. After a few tourists gave them a tip, they started a bucket brigade to make mud at the dip in the road and solicit “tips”. (The road, btw, is part of the Trans-Africa highway. I’ll be curious to hear what condition its in as you travel.)

I’m based here in Tehran until the end of June, then I’m heading over to Turkey to work for a few months.

I’ve also got a short trip to Turkey and Jordan planned for next month.

While I’m in Turkey I’ll try to jump across a few borders

Chris, I’ll be somewhere in SEA in the middle of February. Likely Laos of Vietnam, but if on the off-chance we’re still around or back in Thailand around then, I’d love to meet up!

How come you haven’t made it to Australia? When you do get here, it would be great to meet you Chris!

I’ll be going to Vegas this month… but really – I would love to get back to Italy this year or visit a friend of mine in Japan (never been).
