In his Jan 14 post, travel blogger Keith Jenkins from Velvet Escape listed a series of “10 Incredible Bridge Walks” around the world. Since I’m an admitted RTW-ophile, I couldn’t help but envision the bridges as a theme trip. These beautiful open-to-pedestrians bridges, when assembled in a series, would make one amazing round the world trip, and not necessarily just for bridge enthusiasts.

For continuity, I took the liberty of adding in a crazy bridge in Singapore that would fill in the South East Asia gap nicely.

So, starting in New York City here is Keith’s bridge-lover’s around the world trip. Check out his original post for lovely pictures of these bridges.

Trip Planner prices this trip between $3300 – $4500, set up with two overland legs, in Japan between Osaka and Tokyo and in Europe between Paris and London. These prices can of course be angled toward the lower end with some creative date planning, booking in advance and avoiding high season where possible.
