American woman traveled around the world to meet her 325 Facebook friends, vickymfon has learned.
Prior to the trip, 51-year-old ArLynn Presser has never left her town, in fact, she hardly left her home.
She spent most of her time online chatting with her Facebook friends.
But on 31^st of Dec, 2010, she made a New Year’s resolution to meet all 325 of her Facebook friends in person. She called her project “Face to Facebook”
For a person who was terrified of flying and could never get on a plane before, this was certainly a daunting task. In the end, she did a great job, traveling over 13 countries and taking over 39 flights. By the end of 2011, she had met 292 friends, about 90% of what she had intended to. ArLynn had been to Taiwan, Korea, Philippines, Dubai, Italy, Malaysia, Ireland, England, Germany and four other countries.
A few of her Facebook friends weren’t keen on her idea of meeting them, so they unfriended or blocked her, 18 people ignored her repeated requests to meet, two were profiles of pets, and five people had passed away.
