How I Travelled Across The World For Free Using Nothing But Google+

In general a very interesting experiment. Assuming this is not a Google PR thing, why limit yourself to only the G+ community though? There's lots of other communities to connect with interesting people (HN could be one of them).

Second paragraph:

Why? Because I wanted to show the world that #GooglePlusIsNotAGhostTown and why this platform is different than all of the others.

Google+ is like a baseball team, apparently. One that usually doesn't win.

So the Pittsburgh Pirates, then.

You picked the wrong year to make a Pirates joke.

Especially since there are plenty of specialized communities like couchsurfing.org around..

Assuming this is not a Google PR thing

I would frankly just stop right there. This smells too much like the couple in the RV visiting walmarts across the USA and blogging about it. I smell astroturfing. Maybe it's just me.
