Patrick's adventure began by learning the basics of shooting travel videos from the experts at the Travel Channel!

The Travel Channel Academy is the ONLY professional-grade, travel-focused film making boot camp, period. Patrick learned from the best. Not a bad way to start THE summer of his life!

Eurostar zipped Pat from London to Paris. Then it was off to Madrid for his first leg with Contiki!

Contiki Holidays guided him for the next 14 days from Spain to the French Riviera then down to Rome...

...East to Asia...

The third leg of the World Traveler Internship 08 was an exciting trek from Hong Kong to Vietnam!

Pat's Shenanigans

Our World Traveler Intern had one adventure after another. Check them out here!

His itinerary had him up to all sorts of shenanigans. And, being 18, he would do anything and try anything - like eating a bug in Huashan, China. Not sure if it was alive still. See what else he was up to.
