Rick Segal's Great Adventure

If I could swing it, I'd change jobs with Rick Segal in a second. The guy gets to attend most of the cool conferences (mesh, Gnomdex, CeBit), chats with up and coming entrepreneurs on a regular basis, and now plans to go on a three-week road trip around the world road tip to pursue interesting people, companies and technologies - while promoting Canada and J.L. Albright's portfolio investments. Segal's travelling buddy will be Shel Israel, who spent a lot of time on the road earlier year with Robert Scoble to promote Naked Conversations. Segal said the trip, which will be financed by frequent-flyer points, will be a “global start-up camp” sort of thing. He's looking for suggestions on places to visit, people to see, where to hang out, etc. It sounds like an exciting trip - wondering if Rick and Shel will be wearing backpacks and getting Eurail passes?
