Travel Around the World My name is Gary Arndt. In March 2007 I set out to travel around the world. I sold my house, put my possessions in storage and hit the road with my camera, laptop, and clothes. I've been to over 40 countries and territories since I've started my adventure. I publish a photo from my travels every day as well as the occasional podcast.
