Circumnavigator Club Challenge...
Submitted by admin on Tue, 01/17/2012 - 10:12

We are throwing down the gauntlet. We are asking all you great resourceful travelers to help us find the answer to an age-old query amongst our annual competitors: What traveler has circumnavigated the world the most times? (Not for business, military, or the result of employment responsibilities—a real traveler or adventurer!)

We frankly have no idea…some on our annual travel adventure competition participants have done it 6 or 7 times—I have heard nine circles whispered in passing once; but does anyone of you fellow travelers know the answer—or someone who might know the answer? Please come forth or introduce us.

Please let us know and we’ll reward you with an event hat or T-shirt and of course give credit to where credit is due.
