Who is Timbuk2Stu? Is he real?!?
By day, Stu, just a regular guy, blends into the city grind, just another face in the office elevator. But one fateful encounter with a mysterious, ancient travel journal infected him with something far more powerful than wanderlust — a metaphorical travel bug that rewrote his destiny!
Having since visited all 6 continents that are fully inhabitable, 50% of The World - at 100 countries and counting - and 80% of The New & Ancient Wonders of The World, he now, under the the alter ego of Timbuk2Stu, zips between continents, chasing sunsets and stories, battling monotony with adventure. Whether it's sunrise over the Sahara or midnight street food in Bangkok, Timbuk2Stu isn’t just traveling — he’s saving souls from the dull and ordinary, one epic journey at a time!
Has he actually visited Timbuktu?
Although he would love to visit the 3 Great Mosques of Timbuktu, ironically, he has not yet! Timbuktu is simply a common metaphor, describing an incredibly distant and remote place, which is difficult to reach. If you have been, he would love to hear from you!
