Introduction

Wow Guys! Forget Philleas Fogg around the world in 80 days... I've decided to circumnavigate the globe in 60!

It's a breakneck schedule with stops planned in Canada, England, Dubai (UAE), Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand and Australia... and then back again!

My goal is to cover every land mass known to man - from the plains to the city, coast, desert, and jungle... to the rainforest, mountains, lakes and even the occasional volcano.



Why the urge to circle the globe?

Well, two months a go, my H1-B Visa was approved by the US Department of Immigration for three years. However, the Visa doesn't start until October 1st. My current one expires July 31st.

Without a visa for 60 days I am unable to work here in the states.

With two months free of restrictions, what better time than to fulfill a lifelong ambition and travel around the world.

This is set to be absolutely breathtaking and an incredible experience that I hope will open my eyes to the world culturally and environmentally, although maybe not economically, which my boss, Alan Fuchsman, is all for.

"We like an Account Executive in debt," he told me. "They sell more!"

With that said and done - its time to embark on the journey of a lifetime...

This is my story.
