The concept of the chained journey is for anyone who has dreamt of making a trip they realize they can’t do alone. Whether due to physical limitations, lack of vacation time or resources, there are some trips we unfortunately will not be able to fully take. But the chained journey allows us to do this as a team or appreciate different places at least vicariously with others who set out to achieve the same goal. The passing the torch experiment is a project inspiring people to work together towards a common global challenge or journey. Like the passing of the torch tradition of the Olympics the experiment is a planned journey involving any group of people relaying one leg of the journey to the next. The team can plan to circumnavigate the globe, visit every province in China, or volunteer in any number of countries around the world. The team agrees to fulfill their unique piece of the trip, each contributing their efforts and documenting, sharing, updating, or broadcasting their leg to the others on the team. After each person has completed their leg they can tune in to the course of others following along until the journey is complete. When the trip reaches its final destination, plan to have all members meet up there to celebrate the final leg in one culminating celebration. Teams can take on any potential journey or project or use their journey to raise money for a special cause. Many different possibilities!
