Give me the bitcoins and I'll gladly do it  Grin. Travelling the world on bitcoins is actually one of my goals, but I don't think the world is quite ready for it yet. Maybe in a couple of years when more hotels and airlines start accepting it or more random shops around the world do, but I think people would struggle to achieve it at the moment.

The hard part for a trip around the world like this is to do it now, because we are not quite ready for it. Thus get media attention and talk about bitcoin all over the world even in places they don't accept bitcoin. Else everybody could do it!
it is hard to achieve that goal at the moment. You can find a way to do it and  ask the member in localbitcoin.com to pay for you when purchasing necessity. Or using the BTC ATM to get some fiat for emergency.

What happened to that documentary where a Newlywed couple travelled on I think their honeymoon entirely on bitcoins. I'm not sure if we're ready for worldwide travelling but It'd make a good story or another documentary.

I will abandon the corrupt banking system and leave all fiat currency behind on the 1st of January in 2015, trying to survive only with bitcoins talking about it in every corner of the globe. I am planning to visit at least 75% of the states/nations that there are in the world (UNO counts 196 and Wiki says 209). Therefore it will be forbidden for me to exchange bitcoin into fiatcurrency by myself or a third party. I hope you understand that i will not travel to countries at war or the north or south pole.You might lose all your investments and i can't even promise that there will be any refund for what you fund. I will take videos and pictures on my journey for sure and would be willing to team up with a documentary team if you wish so, and constantly update my web page. I will enable a person to act as a killswitch if something happens to me so your Bitcoins will partially be refunded in case i die on my trip. - See more at:

But i guess more publicity will be on this project

Bitcoin is the future and we hope that future generations will grow up and be able to experience and live in financial indepedence. So we have to help our newborn daughter build her future based on that. If you fund us, to help raise her, we will name her Satoshi Bitcoin. This way she will be spreading the message of Bitcoin to the people her age everywhere in the world. She will be the first bitcoin baby and she will become a living preview of the upcoming future of generation alpha, as part of a big community. Future is here! Be a part of a new era! Thank you for funding our little satoshi Smiley

What a press extravaganza for bitcoin that would be if one of our brave young travellers decided to pull this off!

80 BTC is worth over $10k right now, so the airfare to get around the planet is certainly possible within that amount.

Food & Hotels shouldn't be an issue either if you're sticking to big cities and use Gyft at the time of purchase.

Bonus points if everything you take with you was bought in those 80 bitcoins too, from your clothes to your laptop/ipad/smartphone directly from a store that sells in bitcoin directly.

Who wants to go for a trip? For the press value alone I bet we could crowdfund this idea easily.
