In this episode of The Light Watkins Show, Light Watkins sits down with Tom Turcich, a man who achieved an extraordinary feat—walking around the world. Tom's incredible journey began with a dream at the age of 17, and after years of saving and planning, he set off on foot to circumnavigate the globe. His adventure took seven years and covered 28,000 miles across six continents. Along the way, Tom adopted a dog named Savannah, who walked 25,000 miles by his side.

Throughout the episode, Tom shares the ups and downs of his journey, from battling extreme conditions and illness to experiencing the kindness of strangers. He talks about the profound lessons he learned while walking an average of 14 miles a day, pushing a cart filled with his belongings, and facing the unexpected twists and turns that came with living on the road. Tom opens up about the mental and physical challenges of such a demanding journey, as well as the moments of beauty and connection that made it all worthwhile.
