Around the world via Twitter

[G4Z]

My mate has just posted this on his blog about a fella local to me on a strange mission for charity so I thought I would post it up here and get some awareness.

'Around the world in 80 tweets

by Shepy

A fellow Geordie and twitter user has decided to take on quite a task in the aid of charity, namely to travel around the world (or at least as far as he can manage) using twitter to help him along.

On the 1st of March Paul will leave his home in Newcastle and head out into the wild blue yonder, starting from Newcastle Central station as his blog for the event indicates. Paul will then continue on around the globe, with a hopeful destination of the opposite side of the world in New Zealand, but will restrict himself to offers of accommodation and travel from those kind people on twitter who are following him.

If you want to help out, there are a few ways you can do that:

* Follow him on twitter via @twitchhiker
* Visit twitchhiker.com and learn a bit more about it
* Go and digg the story to help raise awareness.
* Go and upmodit on reddit too.
* Go to the donate page and give anything you can.
* Add a post to your blog to get the word our there if possible.
* …and if you can, offer Paul a bed or travel if you can via twitter''
