Voted "Best Travel Blog" by Forbes, Vagabonding is a round-the-world travelogue created by a guy from Chicago named Mike. This is an old-school travel site, one that predates YouTube and social media; "a geek and a laptop go around the world" was a pretty novel concept back then.

Mike's solo, one-year quest through Asia and Africa is over, but you can relive the adventure in the video, travelogue, and photo archives.

Here's a map of Mike's route.
