RTW TRAVELER PROFILE - Gavin Rice

Gavin Rice admits he used to be "Mr Package Holiday". All that changed with a 3-week trip to the Australian Grand Prix that included losing all his credit cards. Now he's leaving in May 2002 for 1-2 years and he reckons you have to do something with your life, so why not this?!

It's a Europe that you don't cry over during movies. It's a side of the Continent that is not seen by many travelers – though it's easy enough to see it, if you really want to.
