Ed’s Gone South
http://www.edsgonesouth.com/blog/

Ed Sullivan traveled throughout South America on 1997 BMW F650 motorcycle. His trip ended in April, 2004, but the site is still up, offering lots of photographs (some admittedly fuzzy) and fun, plus a list of what he packed for his year-long trip.

Goliath - Walking around the World
http://goliath.mail2web.com/

Apparently, it’s possible to walk 36,000 miles around the world across four continents, starting from the southern tip of South America and heading north until you get to the frozen waters of the Arctic. At which point, a left turn and slow drift southward will take you across Asia and Europe. A U.S. paratrooper in his late 30’s is attempting this world-record breaking feat and keeping a travelogue of his journey, as well as an informative site offering a map of his journey, photos, and an explanation of the attempt.
