Is this the ultimate adventure travel trip?
Tuesday November 17, 2009
Coca-Cola has named a team of three adventurous young adults as "Happiness Ambassadors" to travel around the world to find out what makes people happy. The team, chosen partly by a world-wide vote during which fans registered their preferences on the Coca-Cola site, will travel 275,000 miles and visit 206 countries in 365 days. They are already being prepped on fitness, fast packing, eating exotic foods and more, so they'll be primed for the journey which starts in January, 2010. You can influence who they meet and where they go by following Coca-Cola's Expedition 206.
Wow. What an opportunity!
Though I would typically be averse to the idea of a big corporation like Coca Cola directing something like this, really just seeking self-promotion, an adventure like this is a once in a lifetime sort of deal. I look forward to keeping track of the three travelers.
