Method

I used Expedia and Google Flights in finding the least expensive airfare around the world. I started at a coastal city and then found a cheap destination to go from there. That ended up being Los Angeles to Beijing, China. Then from there I took easy routes from continent to continent, while also looking for cheaper countries.

I started at April 30th and spread out each country within a week from each other.

By Air and Bus

The least expensive around the world airfare using a bus to a coastal city like New York, Los Angeles, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale. The bus connection will usually be less expensive than flying. Don't say that you wouldn't take the bus because it's only $xx less expensive. The purpose of the assignment is get around the world for least expensive price.

An Idiot Abroad

Comment on two episodes of this series: 1) In the Great Wall episode, the main character talks about a toad in a well. What is the point of this story? 2) Comment on some of the lodging presented to the main character in his trip to India.

Karl is the toad in the story because he is experiencing life outside of the UK for the first time in the Great Wall episode. The point of the story is that it is different leaving your home country to experience different cultures and countries. It is important to experience those differences.

At first he had a room shared with other people full of their work supplies. The second room was just a mattress on the floor. India was an interesting experience for Karl.
