"No other generation in the history of civilization could travel as freely as we can today. Never before could someone just get on an airplane and be virtually anywhere on the planet within twenty-four hours. Or whenever was there a time when almost every nation of the world welcomed us with open arms and allowed us the freedom to travel virtually anywhere? Never before has modern transportation been so accessible, available, easy to use, and cheap. And never before has the English language been so commonly spoken and universally recognized. Day after day new places around the globe open up and new travelers go to see them. Basically, there is nothing to inhibit a solo backpacker from going anywhere on the planet as he or she pleases, except the imagination. The explorers of yesteryear would be green with envy at how easy we have it. Welcome to the golden age of touring Planet Earth. Extensive world travel is not for everyone. Not just anyone can pick up a backpack and leave the country for months or years at a time. Not everybody has the courage to go to foreign countries they have never seen before. And certainly not everybody wants to. But to the few that do, be certain there are others out there just like you. Come join the world party. Cash in on your New Freedom for Adventure." --Brad Olsen, Bruce Northam
