August 20, 2011 | US man to travel round the world sans luggage | Washington: A man from America has revealed that he will be travelling around the world over the next six weeks without carrying any luggage. Rolf Potts, 39, a travel writer from Kansas, will set off on August 21 with just the clothes on his back.
"Not even a man-purse or a fanny pack. Just things in my pockets," ABC News quoted
him as saying. He will fly from New York to London and then overland through Western
Europe to Morocco , and from there he will fly to Cairo , then South Africa and
then Bangkok . From there he will travel overland again to Singapore , fly to
New Zealand then Los Angeles and finish up on land in New York on October 2. "All
without a scrap of luggage," Potts proudly stated. "I've always been big on travelling
light. This is just the ultimate manifestation and test of that habit," he added.
Normally carrying just a small backpack that can fit in the overhead bin of an
airplane, plus a daypack, this time he plans to wear one set of clothes: a T-shirt
under a long-sleeve shirt, a travel vest, cargo pants, socks and underwear. In
his pockets of his cargo pants will be: A toothbrush, small tube of toothpaste,
passport, credit and debit cards, iPod and bluetooth keyboard, an extra t-shirt,
two extra socks, two extra pairs of underwear, glasses, contact lens solution,
lip balm, a small tube of sunscreen, a small digital camera, pocket notebook and
pen, a 2-ounce bottle concentrated detergent, a 2-ounce bottle of multipurpose
soap and a handkerchief. The trip is being sponsored by ScotteVest, which makes
travel clothing with lots of pockets, and BootsNall, an online travel community. |
