Tom Rosenthal's mission to make it all the way around the world - just by trading favours . . .
Actor and comedian Tom Rosenthal is a solo-living, daily-Deliverooing, Uber-to-everywhereing, screen-addicted, community-contact-avoidant hermit of a man. He frequently gets told he doesn't live in the real world. So he's going to start trying.
The challenge
Get around the world without paying for travel
The rules
1. Anyone who helps him on a leg of his journey will be repaid with a favour considered by both parties to be of equal value.
2. All favours must be completed before the trip's end.
3. 80 favours must be completed.
4. No plane journeys longer than 7 hours.
5. No repeat favours.
6. In the event of a kidnap the challenge shall be considered null and void.
7. No sexual favours. Why is everyone asking about sexual favours?
Will Tom find a community? Will Tom find a purpose? Or indeed, will Tom die? Pre-order this book to find out (potentially posthumously ghost-written). Spoiler alert! Tom didn't die, but he did...
...Life model in Fife
Referee a football match in Sydney
Made a music video in New Zealand
Organise a British themed birthday party in Kansas
Assembled a keyboard in New York
Was a dancing bear on stage for a punk band in Leeds..
and experienced some tummy trouble in a number of locations.
