If you are planning a trip or adventure of your own read this book before you go soliciting sponsorship. As one who receives lots of requests for both gear and money, I always have to ask a few questions including why should our company help pay for your vacation or dream trip with your buddies?, what will you do for our brand and products that no one else can do?, and are you so good that you should get product or money for your trip to see the world, climb the mountain, seek the adventure while we toil at work?
Jeff's book wil help you answer those questions up front and in the end if you still put a proposal together, it will be a much better proposal that will be taken seriously! You will have also thought out your plans, needs and challenges much more thoroughly and in the end you will probably have a great expedition as a result!
Have a great read and a better trip!

If you enjoy reading about the unusual adventures of others, then you need this book. Or possibly, you would like to have help from a seasoned professional to achieve your own adventure. If you are in either category, then you need this well-written book.

Jeff Blumenfeld is the real deal. He has personally experienced amazing trips and guides the reader to follow their own dreams. In the pages of YOU WANT TO GO WHERE?, you will learn about some people with unusual dreams like Dwight Collins (page 29-38) who wants to pedal across the Atlantic.

This book is informative and fun to read. Here's the perfect gift for a friend or get two--one for yourself and one for your friend. It is loaded with valuable information and insight combined with great stories.

Jeff supremely understands that modern-day exploration ultimately involves making it relevant to mass audiences. He is an absolute pioneer in adventure marketing and showing corporations how they can align their brands with endeavors that push the limits of human endurance and understanding. He has enabled more exploration than any other human in the past half century. "You Want to Go Where" is the starting place for anyone who wants to climb a mountain, cross a continent, head out to sea or fulfill their dreams of exploring our world-and have it matter.

Jeff's storytelling ability, honed in newspaper feature writing, is evident in this book. While primarily a primer for adventurers interested in finding corporate sponsorship and funding for daring expeditions, Jeff's experiences in putting together such partnerships have resulted some lively anecdotes that make these lessons seem more human. It's a well-organized, fast and light read.

As an explorer and traveler, both by land and sea, I can attest that this book is your passport to scoring support for your explorations. Factual and entertaining, the author shares his knowledge, know-how and experiences. It is a must-read for anyone serious about their ventures or anyone with an adventurous spirit.

Clever title for a well-written, easy-to-read but informative complilation of ideas on how to set yourself up for success and fund your next expedition. Even if you are not an explorer, this book sends you on adventures you might not otherwise have the opportunity to take. Either way it is fast moving and fun and each page leaves you with ideas and stratgeties without blisters on your feet!
