Recently, writer Mark Schatzker was commissioned by Conde Nast Traveler to make a trip around the world. The catch however was to make it in exactly 80 days, as in Jules Verne's novel. He could not take a plane or helicopter and could not travel over 100 miles per hour. The intent of this journey was slow travel-to reconnect with a way of travel that allows you to really see the sights. Some of the ways he got from here to there included a cruise, riding horseback and sea kayaking.
You can see Mark's photos and read his blog online. His journey will be highlighted in the September 2007 Conde Nast Traveler magazine
