Take a laptop, a few books on your favourite languages, come back with a product!
- robin_reala 17y agoI wonder what their net access is like? Guess everything’s done via satellite phone, which might get a little expensive.
- unwind 17y agoI suspect that's the reason for the recommendation to pack reference books. :)
- wheels 17y agoI think having regular internet access would ruin the whole point of such a trip to me. The appeal is in the refuge-less disconnect, both from the internet and everything else.
- electromagnetic 17y agoI frequently try becoming a internet fugitive for periods of time, but its long arms eventually capture me again. I believe being in the middle of the ocean would certainly liberate me for a prolonged period of time, however so would going into cottage country in a tent . . . although there is considerably less bears at sea (note that there still is technically a fair amount due to Polar Bears being on ice in mid ocean, hence 'considerably less' and not 'no'). Internet access is both a curse and a blessing, however it tends to lean more towards the former rather than the heavy lean towards the latter that everyone desires.
- whatusername 17y agoGo south of the equator. No Polar bears down here.
- electromagnetic 17y agoBut you have to watch underwater for frigging birds and there's flying fish! The southern hemispheres wildlife is insane.
- mstevens 17y agoI looked at this a couple of years ago - the big handicap for me is that it looks difficult to guarantee vegetarian food. From what I could find you had a good chance of getting away with it, but nobody who'd guarantee "yes, we will feed vegetarians".
