For those which have found this site and don’t know me, I’m Mike Jacobsen also known by my friends as Flattop. In 2009 I took 12 months off to travel around the world with an around the world airline ticket. I wrote this blog primarily for myself as a journal of my experiences and shared it with friends. The Internet however allows it to be shared with all and therefore I’ve posted some other information that might be useful to others considering such a trip.
Use this link for the start of my adventure.
If you choose to read through the blog you’ll discover I didn’t make it around the world due to a severe accident while traveling through Africa. It brought my trip to an abrupt halt and has left me with life long hip issues.
I still occasionally post here about new travels etc. I hope one day to be able to go back and finish the trip I didn’t get to complete.
If you have any questions, please get in touch and I’ll be happy to fill in anything else.
