Driven by wanderlust and a desire to prove doubters wrong, he overcame physical struggles and bureaucratic hurdles to discover the inherent goodness and universality of the human spirit across diverse cultures.
We just had this incredible mission; it's a mix of the mission,
The challenge, behind the scenes, there was the wanderlust, a guy
who had a fondness for horizons, and the right moment in life
where, if you had to do something, it was now or never kind of situation.
Cheers, guys, I'll go over to him and shake his hand.
Thanks, guys, I appreciate it.
Thank you, I appreciate it, thank you very much.
Thanks for stopping by.
Uphill is always a little bit of a...
That's where I get my exercise.
Downhill, well, I'm trying to keep up with it after that.
It's the challenge.
On the mostAnyway,
It's just this enormous challenge with this incredible lifestyle,
this incredible achievement that it would be
to achieve this journey that we have mapped out,
the gaps that we had to cross
and to do all of that without using any transportation.
And then the world said, well, no, you can't do that.
You're not the kind of guy who could do something like that.
And they were right; I wasn't anything special.
You know, I struggled physically with most things.
So, it was, and I kind of knew I could.
And that was it, game on.
The challenge had been issued.
I just noticed right now, at this moment, we'll make it home, but
29 countries, but
I mean, those days in South Central America were
Life was much simpler. I didn't have any sponsors.
So there was no responsibility other than myself.
So a lot of crossing those borders,
especially in South America, you don't have any money or anything like that,
You would do whatever you needed to do.
Tools and repair kits for tires
and other bits and pieces that might break.
The bureaucracy and the politics of Poe being the ones
That's definitely taken the biggest bite out of us.
And dealing with those borders, I mean, Russia cost me a lot of time.
I mean, it took about ten years to get through Russia.
You know, it took six years to do the Americas,
and ten years to get out of Russia.

We live in an
Incredibly good world.
Even though you see it in the 24-year-old news cycle.
No, no, that's not it.
The human race is worth all this challenge.
We are a fantastic species, one that I am concerned about.
I have met 99.9999% of the best of humanity.
In all cultures, in all countries, the response has always been the same,
Same thing.
And it's good news.
And that's something people need to remind you of repeatedly.
especially lately, that is particularly true, especially among young people
because my advice to them would be to get out and travel,
It's one of the best educations you'll ever receive.
You must understand how the other world lives.
