Around The World In 24 Days
Eat your heart out, Phineas Fogg. Luxurious private jet vs. hot air balloon, train, ship, horse, elephant, and every other mode of transportation he and Passpartout used to get around the world in 80 days all those years ago.
This expedition is exactly what and where I want to be when I grow up...it includes highlights like the Serengeti,
China's Great Wall, the Cook Islands, the coral reefs of Papua New Guinea,
And, you are accompanied by world-reknowned anthropologists, ethnobotanists, award-winning photograpers, and all-around explorers. A learning experience from start to finish with no time wasted trying to find a decent place to stay or planning/catching your connections, getting sick because the food or water isn't safe, etc.
This would be my kind of exploring aka roughing it.
I call it pioneering after the trail has already been well-blazed. Comfortable & clean bed, lacking in at least the big bugs/snakes and opportunity for staying somewhat clean style.
Well, I can dream can't I?

That's because your back is 30 years younger than mine.
