Woman Travels Across the World For Free to Raise Money

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Another person has been raising money for charity by traveling around the world. Not sure how that is supposed to work, but it seems to be a "thing".
And I guess someone also paid for her flight home.

A British model has travelled 10,000 miles across the globe to Australia for free by blagging rides on planes, tractors, cars, ferries, buses, tuk tuks and even an alpaca, all for charity.

Elaine Harris, 38, blagged her way to Sydney thanks to kind strangers who helped her get there from the UK.

The mother-of-two, who was a finalist on the UK's Top Model, started her epic freebie adventure on a tractor, leaving her home in Forfar, Scotland on July 21.

She then journeyed from England to France, Belgium, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Slovakia, Hungary, Israel, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Malaysia before arriving in Australia, using no cash.

The explorer had to survive on one meal a day and protein bars and relied on the generosity of others to get her through the gruelling trip.

She had to ration water and the charge on her phone while she bravely hitchhiked for lifts on the back of lorries.

Elaine said the hardest part was sleep deprivation and a 25-hour bus journey from Bangkok to Vietnam via Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Somehow, I suspect an ugly guy would not be nearly as successful. :wink:
You could be next.
