A New Friend in England with Guest Blogger Karim Kanji
November 5th, 2009 by Karim Kanji
Karim Kanji joins the Flight Centre Travel Blog from his vacation in England where he meets Dave Holby. Dave is on a pretty incredible mission.
One of my favourite things to do these days is meeting new and interesting people. Today I had the opportunity to meet a guy who’s attempting to set SIX Guinness World Records. His name is Dave. I met him while he was rowing outside a clothing store in Basingstoke.
No, he wasn’t rowing down the River Thames. He was rowing on a stationary rowing machine, outside, in the cold and mostly damp English autumn.
So you know I had to go and ask him if he needed directions to the nearest mental facility. Turns out Dave is a great guy with an even bigger heart for people. He’s basically dedicated more than 2 years of his life, everyday, to help raise funds and attention to a worthwhile local charity.
Check out Dave’s adventures worldrecordrow.com and please follow him and his adventures at twitter.com/worldrecordrow.
Basingstoke, England is highlighted on the Flight Centre travel map.
