Many RTW (Round the World) Travelers have the problem of keeping track of their journeys around the planet.

Of course you will keep a notebook, write a blog, shoot thousands of photos or mark your tracks on a small world map you carry around with you.

I usually don’t use Money Changers at all. Other than the ones at Singapore’s Changi Airport or big, official Banks with receipts and all I just don’t trust them. It’s what you read and hear, that most of the time people get cheated or aren’t paid the agreed rates or simply have less money at the end, then what they bargained for.

A new report shows a boost in happiness for Britons after they win the lottery but others say the feeling is ‘illusory’. Who wins the lottery anyway?

But seriously – can money buy happiness?
