While staying at the killer Goddard Mansion Bed & Breakfast in Claremont, New Hampshire, this last weekend, I met Boaz Frankel, world record holder, kazoo touter, and reality television star. As he was traversing the North America and a genial and articulate fellow, I made the mistake of offering him a ride, for which he had no choice but to decline. This, for his latest venture, The Un Road Trip, he has vowed to take any form of transportation he can except automobile. His blog is a fascinating video and text exploration of alternative travel, all the slightest bit ironic as this is all easier due to modern technology.

He told me the iphone has made his travels much easier than they would have been just years ago. His parents are able to keep track of him via his blog. People can recommend places to stay through Twitter (@boazf). Of course he’s able to pull up maps and even stream video or chat via Skype. And all of the instant feedback thanks to Web 2.0 is constant emotional reinforcement.

You can watch also watch him on The Today Show. Or go to the homepage of his blog. I think Boaz deserves all the high-fives he can get.
