Circumnavigating the world : idea for a CAS activity that would take you 10 years

Who knows? You may be planning some incredible adventure before or after you graduate from uni and I don't know about it.
On Asian roads, my wife and I have met some intrepid students :they were all broke but their personal gain was huge.

If you do intend to travel the world powered by your muscles, you will need some training. This preparation would make a good CAS activity...

In the following interview, the inspiring Jason Lewis tells of the difficulties he encountered over the 13 years he spent circumnavigating the world.

And here, you'll find a report depicting the then unknown Mark Beaumont as he completed his round the world trip. He has since become a personality and completed other long distance self-powered trips.
