After reading for a bit, it became apparent that the title is misleading. This guy from England has indeed made it half way across Europe, but he has hardly traveled the world.

Not only does he have yet to complete his circumnavigation of the globe, his experiment was stonewalled in Athens for the gross majority of the time he spent abroad, and he then bailed back to the UK.

Also there's no indication anyone is paying for his flights, buses, ferries, etc.

If you read through all of the posts you will learn otherwise.

Generally these things feel awkward to me. I wouldn't be surprised if this guy is getting a stipend/support from Google since it is great PR for them (although I think the blogging rules would require he disclose it). I enjoyed the youtube videos of the guy dancing all over the world, that was just fun.

"London, Paris, Amsterdam, Harderwijk, Emsdetten, Munster, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich, Zurich, Milan, Austria, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Athens, courtesy of Google+ users from one side of the world to the other."

So one side of the world is England, and the other is Bulgaria?
