    Join the Crew

    Us vs. the World is the travelog home of those pursuing long-term, RTW travel. Join the crew to start your own free travelog! It's an easy and excellent idea. Here's why:

    1) You're looking for a free travelog, but maybe you're wanting a little bit more than the standard, cookie-cutter style blog. By joining our crew, you will get a FREE blog hosted on the usversustheworld.com domain (http://usversustheworld.com/yoursitename). In addition, I will personally set up the blog and install a theme customized* to your blogging needs!

    2) You're looking for exposure, but just don't know how to get it all rollin'. By joining the crew and being hosted on the usversustheworld.com domain, attention will be immediate. You will be listed on a long-standing domain, listed on the home page as a member, and also have the chance for your blog posts to be featured on the "Latest in the World" section of the site. You really can't lose!

    Please contact Brooke with details of your travels! If looking for a blog on your own domain, contact Free Custom Wordpress.
