Ep.146 I Deciding to Walk the World: A 7-Year Growth Journey with Tom Turcich
What all goes into a 7-year, 28,000-mile walk around the
world? Why would someone take on such a huge adventure in the first place? What about when you get lost, lonely, or lack the drive to keep going? Tom Turcich, the 10th person to walk around the world, shares his experience of being immersed in unknown places, forced into adventure, and coming to better understand the world and himself.
KEY TOPICS
How to decide what to do when you want to do it all.
What to do when your resiliency tank runs low.
Why we don’t need to be so fearful of everyone and everything.
When to release control of external factors that are impacting your plans.

After the death of his friend Ann Marie, Tom's dream of walking around the world was born. Her passing woke him to his own mortality and forced him to reconsider what he wanted out of the brief time we have here. To get the most out of life, he decided to walk. By traveling slowly, he knew he would be immersed in unknown places, forced into adventure, and come to better understand the world. On April 2, 2015, after getting a degree and paying off his loans, he stepped out his front door. Seven years, six continents, and twenty-eight thousand miles later, he has become the tenth person to walk around the world, and his dog, Savannah, became the first dog to do so.
