WEB: AroundTheWorldForFree.com


There are so many websites out there, it's hard to find truly outstanding examples of people using the technology - and indeed the true nature of the web - to tell their story.

Around The World For Free (aroundtheworldforfree.com) is an excellent example, and one close to my professional and personal heart as it combines the best in documentary and reality filmmaking with international travel.

Starring "Amazing Race" winner Alex Boylan and his one-man-band crew "preditor" Zsolt Luka, ATWFF is an ambitious website. The plan is to travel around the world and document each stop. Oh, and to do it with no budget - relying only on the kindness of strangers.

The daily webisodes are fun, touching, inspirational and entertaining - an amazing feat made even more impressive when one considers that they're being shot, edited and uploaded in the field, on the fly and by one guy.

Check out the site - it's addicting TV at its finest.
