A British blogger is trying to travel as far around the world as possible in 30 days, relying only on the goodwill of people using social networking site Twitter. Paul Smith aims to travel to Campbell Island in New Zealand from his home in England and back again "to see if it's possible ... because it might be fun". He also aims to raise money for a water charity and has so far had more than $6,400 (Rs 3.25 lakh) pledged in online donations. Smith's self-imposed golden rule is that he can only accept offers of travel and accommodation from Twitter users. Smith is also banned from making any travel plans more than three days in advance and has to leave each location within 48 hours of arriving. Since starting his odyssey on March 1 with just a ferry ticket to Amsterdam the journalist has visited France and Germany, before working his way across the US and flying to Auckland, New Zealand. Smith has more than 800 people following his progress on his Twitter page on which he has posted 1,000 updates this month. He now faces an uphill battle against officialdom to travel to Campbell Island the UNESCO World Heritage site. But Smith is unwilling to change his plans.u00a0
