Paul Smith from Gateshead in Tyne & Wear is planning a 30 day trip to raise money for charity:water- who's aims are to make clean water accessable to everyone in the world. 

Leaving Newcastle on March 1st, Paul will see how far he can travel for 30 days and who knows where he could end up. 
His only rules are that he can't ask to go anywhere and can only spend money on food, drink and anything that he can fit in his bag.

Using the lateset social networking service Twitter Paul has received offers of accommodation from all over the world from his Twitter friends.

Twitter was founded in 2006 and has recently become popular with celebrities-texts or tweets as they are known, of up to 140 characters can be updated regularly throughout the day to let your fellow Tweeters know what you're up to.
