Have Twitter, will Travel
No matter what you think of Twitter, you have to admit that connecting over 200 million people worldwide is a pretty big achievement One of the site’s greatest fans is ex-radio DJ Paul Smith, aiso known as The Twitchhiker’, Thanks to Twitter, Paul succeeded in going on a 30-day free journey, which took him half-way around the world, He didn’t actually hitchhike as such, but he did rely on the kindness of other people to get him there.
The idea came to him in his local supermarket in Gateshead, northern England. The crowded store and inconsiderate customers made him wish he was in another country, By the time he reached the checkout, he had made a plan, He would use Twitter to help him travel to the point in the world that was furthest from his own home: a remote place called Campbell Island to the south of New Zealand. But first he had to convince Jane, his wife of only four days, to let him go,
Once Jane agreed (as he knew she would) Paul announced his plan online, Twitter users sent messages to British actor and journalist Stephen Fry, an enthusiastic supporter of the site, to tell him about Paul’s journey, He in turn asked his tens of thousands of followers to help Paul on his travels, Five days later, Paul was ready to go he tweeted his first message and waited for a response. It came from a local Twitter user called Leanne, who offered him an overnight ferry trip to Amsterdam, He was off!
After Amsterdam, two Parisian Twitter users paid for Paul to travel by rail to Paris. While he was there, a middle-aged German businesswoman sent him a high-speed train ticket from Paris to Saarbrucken and then drove him to Frankfurt Shortly after that, a company director bought Paul a one-way flight from Frankfurt to New York, Within five days of leaving home, Paul had crossed the Atlantic! From New York, he was offered various lifts and bus rides -and even a flight on one occasion- until he reached Los Angeles, There, he received a message from a New Zealand airline offering to fly him to the capital. During his final week, he . travelled the length of the country by plane, ferry, car, and camper van, before arriving at Stewart Island, just off the south coast. All he had to do now was to find the captain of a boat that would take him on the final leg of his journey- a six day trip to Campbell Island, 900km to the south.
But this was where Paul’s luck ran out. Or did it? Paul never actually made It to Campbell Island, because he didn’t get a ride. But he did
receive another message from the airline offering to fly him home, Paul . was delighted to have travelled so far, and decided that it was time to go : home, When he got home, 30 hours later, Jane was waiting for him with an enormous smile and big hug. Although Paul didn’t actually reach his destination, he succeeded in travelling over 18,325 km around the world . absolutely free. Eighteen months on, he is still in touch with the people who helped him on hisjourney and through him, they have become friends with one another. Which just goes to show the power of Twitter-
