The Amateur Traveler Episode 75.

Today the Amateur Traveler interviews the authors of Europe from a backpack.

I got my bags packed on a roll. I'm heading out there and I'm ready to go.

Looking real good in my passport photo.

Oh no.

15 hour flight.

Oh, I don't think I'll ever be coming home.

You know I love it.

I got to see one more cathedral.

I got to sit in one more cafe.

I know that I should be heading home,

but maybe not, maybe night till the day.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. The first piece of news I have today is a competition for geography knowledge for

students who are at least 13 years of old in grades 9 through 12 public private and

homeschooled and the winner of will receive a $20,000 college scholarship.

What do you need to know? You need to know geography.

Questions like if you're driving due west from Dodge City, which state would you come to first?

In what state is the world famous?

Why may a canyon? And what is the Loire Valley famous for?

If you think you know someone who knows that, act now.

This is something that is a time sensitive thing you need to take the online quiz portion of this by January 16th of

2007 and that's at AA.com slash travel challenge I'll put that link again in the show notes at amateur traveler.com.
