100 goals in 100 weeks

Two months ago, I posted about Matt’s wonderful video shooted all around the world (check Where the hell is Matt).

Today, Ian Usher, a 45-year-old Australian man, is seeking to reach his 100 goals in 100 weeks. As he was walking out of the door of his house in Perth, with no belongings other than his wallet and passport in his pocket after having sold his life on eBay! on the 29nd of June 2008 (check ALife4Sale.com), Ian needed a new challenge.
