From 2001 to 2003, Ramon Stoppelenberg was followed by a media circus interested in his then novel website, Let Me Stay For A Day, as he travelled through 18 countries, personally met about 10,000 people, slept in 500 different beds, ate 1,500 meals and had 600 showers.

If you are caught short while travelling, visit the Bathroom Diaries to find a clean restroom.

Don't forget to submit any strange English to Engrish.
