The transparency of everyday life and the degree to which our daily activities are documented is unlike any other time in history. With Facebook, Twitter, and the “shareability” of every moment, each person has the power to make their life a spectacle to any number of followers or viewers. For some this trend is creepy and privacy invading, for others it’s an exciting opportunity to share with an audience or enhance their connection. The next travel experience is all about utilizing the power of sharing and openness and taking it to a new extreme in travel. My Travels Live: A Broadcast Journey is an all-out travel experience broadcasting your journey to create a Truman-show like platform. Using a broadcast lapel camera or assigned film companion, take on your next travel adventure with each step broadcasted as much as the places, rules, and available bandwidth permits. Keep a running broadcast going for your friends or for any public viewer with video log or blog. Create a Twitter circle to root you on in your travels, and to challenge you to take on new adventures along the way. Keep a running dialogue with your followers, or invite others to participate in your adventure.

Another more ambitious option is to enlist people you know in a shared team broadcast journey with many routes and explorations happening all at once around the world. Joined by Twitter, GPS tracking, broadcast cams, blogs, and video, compete as broadcasters for style and challenge points, most exciting moments, and far out experiences. Have team followers vote on their favorite traveler or journey. Add more followers as competitions grow in excitement and popularity. See who can stay out the longest and endure the long travel and constant public nature of their journeys. Make new friends along the way, compete to be the most popular traveler and watch as you become a public sensation.
