One of the things that I love about the internet is how it allows me to live vicariously through my friends in a way I wouldn’t have believed possible. The ability to be involved in the day-to-day minutia of people’s lives through Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, blogs and more is in many ways creepy however while at home, it allows me to travel with a friend of mine who is off on her own great travel adventure.
Kate, with whom I attended high school, spent a semester in Paris during college and caught a travel bug of epic proportions. After graduating, she decided to come home and get a job before heading off but last week took the plunge and flew to Hong Kong to begin a round-the-world tour that she has no current plans of ending in the near future. After a few days in Hong Kong she’s left for Bali. From there she’ll travel through Asia, meeting up with friends, make her way to India, through Egypt, up to Turkey, and by fall of 2009, she hopes to be in the UK.
I already love reading her posts on her blog Chasing Hemingway and highly recommend that anyone interested in travel or interesting personal stories takes a look. It’s definitely going to be an exciting trip and thank goodness the internet lets me play along.
