Feeling lucky? Friend o’ SMITH Noel Hidalgo is. He’s launched a new project that’s an experiment in personal travel exploration called The Luck of Seven. Noel’s seven-month journey takes him around the world to explore seven continents, dive into the seven oceans, and visit the seven ancient wonders of the world. “My journey will be your journey,” he says. And he’s hoping to fund it, open-source-style, by raising $7,777—or, $11.11 from 700 people. “By donating you can help direct my footsteps … and help the world learn about open-source communities, social entrepreneurs and global change.” Through the thick and thin, sixes and sevens, Noel will diary his conversations, photograph his experiences, and record contributors’ interactions with him. He leaves from New York City on July 7. 2007. We’re not exactly sure how his journey will be ours, but we’re game to give him $11.11 to find out and say: Good luck.
how? by donating you can tell me where to go, whom to visit, which friends to interconnect, and how to spent seven months on the road.
how are you going to visit the 7 ancient wonders when only the pyramid of giza remains?
if you’re telling me that my $11.11 will help you get a time machine, then i’m in. but only if you let me used the time machine as well. i’d love to go back and tell 18-year-old evan not to get involved with kate.
wow. what a mistake that was.
