Alright like minded people, it’s time you read ‘THE Ultimate ALL-in-ONE Expedition!!! ‘
So you cool people at ‘i-to-i,’ who I believe should be getting an award for organising such unique experiences, say money and time are no object…Well I cud go on 4ever but I’ll try and make it brief. Having had an excellent time last year in Egypt and a tremendous time this summer in Turkey it’s only fair to include them in my exhilarating worldwide conquest. Right??
Catch an economy flight (coz that’s where the fun people are) from London to Istanbul (Turkey). Check in to a hotel, forget unpacking, we hit the town centre straight and tucked into an ‘Adana Kebab’ topped off with a traditional Turkish Tea. Visit the ‘Grand Bazaar,’ for an incredible shopping experience but remember to haggle. Then jumped on the tram and visited the ‘Blue Mosque’ (wonder of the world), ‘Hagia Sophia’ (one of the most magnificent museums in the world) and ‘Topkapi Palace,’ to see some breathtaking architecture and religious culture dating centuries back to the Ottoman Empire. Joined a relaxing evening dinner boat cruise along the Bosphorus and admired the beauty of Eastern & Western Istanbul before jumping on a night coach heading down to Bodrum/Gumbet.

First thing we did in Gumbet is volleyball on the beach. Then straight to ‘Dedeman Aquapark’ to ride some of the world’s craziest ‘waterslides.’ Went on a ‘4x4 safari’ around the borders of Bodrum, had lunch with traditional bread and salad in a local village, watching the villagers knit quality rugs and left with a pot of fresh honey. From a rugged adventure to a luxurious ‘Hamaam-Turkish Bath,’ which basically was a sauna, salt scrub, foam massage, topped off with a oil massage (which u fall asleep). Then out for an evening stroll down Bodrum town centre, stopping by to have some sheesha along the beach under the twilight, before heading to the most unique boat party on the ‘Club Catamaran.’ Imagine setting offshore dancing on an open top glass dance floor where you can see the fishes swim underneath.
After several excursions, on day 8 we went on a private cruise to 5 different islands, just chilling and sipping exotic cocktails along the way. We sunbathed and dived off the yatch roof, swam through a caves and the daredevils had a chance to jump off a cliff. Did some fishing which we barbecued and some extreme water sports including the ‘flying fish,’ going on to chill at the 5th island ‘the camel Beach’ (best one in Bodrum) before heading back to town. All right enough about Turkey but I’ll whizz through Egypt.

Took part in loads of watersports in the famous region of Sharm-el-Sheikh. This included parasailing far out in the Red Sea grasping astonishing views of Egypt to one side and the Arab Peninsula on the other. Other fantastic activities include scuba diving in the world renowned region of ‘Ras Mohamed.’ (I’m telling you the underwater kingdom is another world of its own.) Exchange rate was brilliant so we lavished on delicious food, chilling on mountaintop cafes smoking sheesha and enjoying the entertainment of the traditional belly dancers. Quad biking in the ‘Sahara Desert’ was awesome and we booked our own private minibus which drove us up to Cairo during the night.
Spent the day sightseeing and went to the Great Museum to see the Ancient Egyptian exhibits including those of Tutankhamen. We cruised along the ‘River Nile,’ having hummus and other local cuisine for lunch. And then drove to the main touristic site where we individually rode horses around and up to the ‘Sphinx’ and started climbing the ‘Three Great Pyramids’ (World landmark) before guards came and warned us down. We weren’t allowed to enter inside the pyramid as the park had closed so we head to the Great Egyptian Souk/Bazaar for shopping before heading back to Sharm.

Okay so that’s enough fun for now, time to take part in some life changing experiences. So from Sharm I’d catch a cosy first class flight to Kenya to help build a well in a large village and install several water pumps in the smaller ones as only 60% of Kenyans have access to safe clean water. Perhaps then hop on to an elephant tour of the completed villages before going to Nairobi national park to feed the giraffe. From there I’d jump in a jeep and travel through Tanzania starting with it’s vibrant capital, Dar-es-Salaam, before travelling to the world famous Selous Game reserve to take pictures of its incredible wildlife. Definitely climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro before taking a safari into the spectacular ‘N'Gorongoro crater.’ Round it off with some fresh smoothies on the beaches of Zanzibar.

From there I’d head down to do a bit of sports coaching in South Africa, grab the luxury train ‘Premier Classe’ from Johannesburg to Cape Town and hopefully catch some spectacular scenery along the way and once there visit the peaceful ‘Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens.’ Perhaps help out with an eco project before heading out to samba in Brazil. Whilst there I’d visit the ‘Iguassu Falls’ (one of the 7 natural Wonders of the world) and soar above the tropical landscape on a ‘tandem hang-gliding’ flight off a cliff just outside Rio and land on the golden yellow beach to play some Brazilian beach football.
Most likely then join the carnival madness in ‘Rio De Janeiro’ and then head off to explore the amazing Amazon rainforest. Hopefully not bitten by anything I would fly over to Peru (too hot to drive). Camp, cook and learn about the Peruvian culture whilst helping build some houses. After making some good local contacts head off on a trek along the Inca trail. Followed by some mountain climbing in the Andes (if we can still stand) taking a rest to absorb the stunning mountainous views. I’d then sail over to Costa Rica just to visit the base of the active Arenal volcano, maybe help out with another rural project, and lie on a hammock on the beaches along the Pacific Coast. (U guys still with me, nearly there)

From there I’d fly on a private jet to the USA to help out with a ‘summer camp,’ then as a reward go ‘rollerblade’ along the beaches of Miami, visit the thrilling ‘theme parks’ of Florida and Orlando, and ‘surf’ in California. Grab a quick sightseeing tour of NYC before heading out for some ‘skiing in Canada.’ Book a flight across the Atlantic straight to Sweden for some snowboarding and then onto a loooooong chauffeured road trip through Europe, (with a sightseeing tour of each capital), before boarding the Eurostar back to London. (Where it starts to rain as soon as I come out the train station.) Lol.

Hope I didn’t bore anybody and you were able to picture ‘My Ultimate Expedition’ as I just let my imagination flow and wrote away. I tried to keep it brief but didn’t promise ya!
I really want to win this opportunity and it’s up to you wonderful people now. Thanks for your time!!!
