Have you ever dreamt of traveling around the world? Well, reality star Jeff Schroeder did just that. Jeff, who is best known for his stints with girlfriend Jordan Lloyd on “Big Brother” and “The Amazing Race,” was given the opportunity this summer, by CBS, to cross the globe with the stipulation that he had to do so without a cent to his name.

You may ask, “How is this possible?” The premise is simple: prove that human kindness is still alive and well around the world. Jeff, along with camera man Zsolt Luka, and one other companion, spent over 100 days on the road relying solely on the live online audience of the internet show, called “Around the World For Free”, to get him from one place to the next as well as for basic needs. There was no set route; the audience scripted every moment of Jeff’s journey, from where he slept and ate, to the adventures he went on.

Jeff started his journey in late August on The Early Show, right here in New York City! From the start, offers came pouring in on Twitter and the show’s CBS website. From New York, Jeff started his westward journey across the United States, doing everything from charity work in Texas, to teaching a women’s aerobics class, to working at a taco stand for an airplane ticket, to making a guest appearance hosting a competition on the twelfth season of “Big Brother”! Jeff finally made it overseas traveling from Japan throughout Southeast Asian islands, India, and across Europe. Viewers of the series experienced ways of life and parts of the world they had never even heard of through Jeff’s webisodes.

Jeff has described his journey as a once in a lifetime adventure and as a very humbling experience. Jeff, as well as his online viewers, learned what it was like to climb Mt. Fuji, to live in a monastery, to visit a gypsy village, and to skydive. One of the season’s highlights involved Jeff traveling to Italy and staying with his mother’s family whom he had never met before. Along with these great experiences came a few scary ones too. At one point in Laos, Jeff was virtually stranded with no cell phone or Internet connection to communicate with his online audience. A train ticket out of the country was $18, more than the monthly salary of the average person living in the village, and he couldn’t expect someone to sacrifice that much. During that episode, Jeff said that his purpose was never to have to take advantage of someone and he couldn’t ask these people to give him, a complete stranger, money they desperately needed to live so that he could get out of the country. In India, Jeff had a close call with malaria, scaring both him and his online fan base.

No matter where Jeff went or what he encountered, people always went out of their way to help him, feed him, and make him feel at home. In India, for instance, a man from the slums ran across Jeff trying to find somewhere to sleep for the night and allowed him and his cameraman to stay with his family for the night. In other parts of the world, Jeff’s hosts would create an elaborate feast for him, even when they could hardly feed their own families. After this crazy adventure, Jeff returned to the States to wrap up the season in New York City.

The concept of this show is not a new one. The web series is actually in its second season. The first season, hosted and created by Alex Boylan, winner of the second season of “The Amazing Race,” started production in the fall of 2007. It was later turned into an eleven part series for the Chicago local channel WGN. The outstanding success as well as the emotional response from its audience prompted the equally successful second season.

Though the show has finished filming, you can watch and live all of Jeff’s adventures, which are documented on cbs.com/world, and who knows, maybe one day you could be the one traveling “Around the World For Free”.
