It is where I am. In fact it’s been out since October.
True - but he does get to meet all sorts of people - gangster bosses, politicians, etc., and he is really good at getting beneath the surface of the places he visits. And also - there aren’t many pubs in India.
Mark Twain. That would be a fun trip.
Mr Palin for me. He’s just so damn nice. Plus I can ask him about Python stuff!
Neil Armstrong
You didn’t say WHICH world.
Another vote for Mark Twain.
Paul Theroux would be interesting as well.
Well, it’s not on Netflix yet, which is about as far as I’m willing to go for it 
Pileas Fogg, and his servant (Passpartout). It would be a gas!
Came in here to say that! I just read Innocents Abroad this winter. I want to escape a cruise ship under quarantine and ramble around Athens in the middle of the night with this guy. Or at least hang out in Venice while he tells me a gigantic lie about how he did.
“Is…is he dead?” Snerk
Or Hemingway, of course. But he’s a little scary.
Bill Bryson. I hope to convince him to write about Canada.
Samantha Brown. I wouldn’t care if we never left the hotel! 
Catriona Rowntree.
Yep, Mark Twain for the win.
Bill Bryson might be fun.
Anthony Bourdain is an asshole. He insists he has the right to smoke everywhere, esp upon other dudes food. :mad:
I would not like to travel around with Mark Twain or Richard Francis Burton, because that would mean I’d be dead today. 
Rachel Ray, but we could just stay in the whole time…
Seriously, though, I’d like to travel with Ian Wright from the Lonely Planet series (I think it’s called Globe Trekker or something). He’s got the same travel philosophy: backpack, passport, money, change of clothes. I’d only add a toothbrush and a towel.
Heinreich Barth (or however you spell his name.) Probably the world’s first vaguely culturally sensitive traveller.
Another vote for Ian Wright, he seems like a fun dude.
But Samantha Brown is quite a hottie.
Dave Attell would be fun to travel with too. But the hangovers would be a drawback.
