This American Asked His Friends to Plan an Epic Vacation for Him. They Sent Him Straight to India!

This American Asked His Friends to Plan an Epic Vacation for Him. They Sent Him Straight to India!

What would happen if you lost your job tomorrow and there was no back-up plan? That’s exactly the predicament that San Francisco native Alex Strand found himself in recently, when he found out he was no longer employed. But instead of wallowing in self-pity, he decided to go on a vacation, but one with a difference – his friends would plan the entire trip for him and he would have no idea where he would end up until he showed up at the airport.

And that’s exactly how he came to spend two weeks in India, documenting his epic vacation through a series of videos!

Ever wonder what you’d do if your division closed down? Thanks Emily for supporting the plan! #PlaneToNowhere
