Do you ever wonder if the kid in your Senior class voted, "Most Likely to Succeed", ever had any success? I guess it's how you define success. Here's what that kid in my senior class is doing. He was actually a friend of mine. Hi name is Andy Stoll. Andy accomplished many things while in high school. He ran one of the biggest Make-a-Wish campaigns every year. He won a very prestigious award for volunteer work and community service. While in college, he was one of the founders of a non profit community building organization called The James Gang. He also won one of the top honors from the dean's office at the University of Iowa. After college, he decided to sell most of his things, box up the rest at his parent's house, and travel the world. Sometimes you hear "Travel the World", you think vacation or the Travel Channel. What started as a one year trip around the world, it will become a three year journey this July. It's been fun reading everything he has experienced along the way. From buying real fake handbags in China to night clubbing in Tibet. Sometimes you just get sucked into reading everything and the next thing you know, you've been reading for over two hours. He has taken numerous pictures and countless hours of video as well. He even had a photo gallery exhibit in South Korea this year. There are numerous side stories and interwoven characters he meets along the way. I'm sure he'll be writing a few books when he's done with his journey but, check out his travel blog while you still can. I'm not sure how long he'll keep it up after he's done traveling. If you ask me, he's found all different kinds of success all over the world...
Lake Namtso (the world’s highest salt water lake), Tibet...
Sunset. Xun Zhou, China...
Sunrise crossing the Yellow Sea by ferry from Qingdao, China to Incheon, South Korea...
Sunset on Kuta Beach, Bali...
Looking out on The Drakensbergs in South Africa (on the horizon)...
