Melalvai, I didn't mean to rain on your parade. I'm sorry my first post came out so snottily. My comment was not because of your mention of them starting with $300; I went to the site and looked around some, and saw this:

We need your help to make it the whole 7,000 miles. We are looking for you to donate 5 dollars a month for the next 20 months.

That, and then the whole tone of their website, just rubbed me the wrong way. Kind of disgusted me, actually.

I originally had written more but decided not to post it, and will go back to my Growlery now!

That's funny. I originally skimmed the thing, decided it was too...maybe earthy? for me (just not my cup of tea, call me a princess or whatever) but after this thread I went back and really read it, and I had the same reaction Owlice had. It sounded like they are asking for donations to support their lifestyle (as opposed to asking for donations to help raise money for a charity). I don't know exactly why, but it struck me as sort of a hooray for me, pay for me thing.
So I am growly too.
