I'm ripping this idea off the travel blog of Brook Silva-Braga, who directed A Map for Saturday, a documentary that started me thinking about taking a trip like this. Pictures in the full post.

Final Facts and Figures
This is way overdue. Part of the reason for the delay is that I've been busy, but part of it is that I haven't wanted closure. I'll have some other wrap-up type posts over the next few days, including my final rankings, but for now here are the final facts and figures.
Length: 405 days
Miles Traveled: 66,000 (obviously the mileage in the logo is laughably wrong - I just didn't put enough thought into it. Our round-the-world plane ticket was for 34,000 miles, so I just slapped that number into the logo without accounting for any other travel.)
Countries Visited: 20 - Ecuador, Peru, Chile, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Jordan, Greece, Macedonia, Croatia, Italy, France, Spain, United Kingdom and South Africa. These are the countries in which we spent at least a few nights, but we also made a day trip to Lesotho and drove through Kosovo, Serbia and Montenegro.
Flights Taken: 20 (ignoring connections)
Intercity Buses Taken: 38
Trains Taken: 16
Cars Rented: 4
Accommodations: 100 (counting all our nights in the Jucy Choppa as 1 and not counting nights slept in transit on trains, planes or buses). We mostly stayed in hostels, but we also stayed in people's homes, tents, lodges, a few nice hotels and on a couple of boats.
