Early Travels
Beginning December 2002, Omar embarked on a 370-day journey across the continents of Asia and Latin America covering 14 countries. The objective of the trip was not to go to as many countries as possible but to truly dig below the surface of every country visited. The trip was completed on a $20/day budget. In many ways this trip became the inspiration for Omar's later career change and the founding of Adventure Travel company Wild Guanabana.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or travels:
“Pray be always in motion. Early in the morning go and see things; and the rest of the day go and see people. If you stay but a week at a place, and that an insignificant one, see, however, all that is to be seen there; know as many people, and get into as many houses as ever you can.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Take the instant way,
For honor travels in a strait so narrow,
Where one but goes abreast. Keep then the path,
For emulation hath a thousand sons
That one by one pursue. If you give way,
Or hedge aside from the direct forthright,
Like to an entered tide, they all rush by
And leave you hindmost.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
