What is RTW?
What constitutes a round-the-world trip?
So you're down the pub talking to an intrepid RTW traveller, and it turns out that he's riden from the UK down to India, shipped the bike to the States, crossed there and come home. A helluva trip, no doubt, but to me that's not the full-on RTW experience. So what's missing?
Well, for me, I'd be wanting to visit each of the continents, bar Antarctica. And also in one fairly continuous chunk of time. I'm keen on the extremities, so places like Tierra del Fuego, the Nordkapp and Kakadu all feature on my wish list.
What makes a RTW for you?
