The World Walk

Recorded in a church during a riotous winter storm, Tom reflects on what returning home has done to his productivity, walking across the high desert of Wyoming, and what life may have in store for him after the walk.

After six years of walking, over twenty thousand miles beneath our feet, Savannah and I have finally returned to the USA. The relief I feel is profound. I know the language, the culture, and there's more food than I know what to do with!

I touch on this transition currently going through, my time in Kyrgyzstan and what lies ahead.

What an eventful month! Turned away at the Kyrgyz border, reams of bureaucracy in Uzbekistan, and finally finding a guide and trekking the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Traveling during covid isn't easy, but to be out walking again with Savannah makes all the trouble worthwhile.

With eight days of walking behind him, Tom is ready to share his on-the-ground experience of Uzbekistan. 

After four months of laying low in Turkey, Tom and Savannah have returned to the road. Savannah has a new haircut and Tom has a new vaccine. They're ready to explore the ancient country of Uzbekistan.

From a mangy pup found on the side of the highway to one of the most well travelled dogs in the world, this episode is all about Savannah.

A friend visiting meant I had a great excuse to take a holiday break. The only problem is returning to the road after being with friend is like going through withdrawal. 

As storms crush the south coast of Turkey, Tom and Savannah find shelter in the many resort towns. Walking through such populated areas has its drawbacks, but hiding from the rain isn't one of them. 

Christmas in Algeria, New Year's Eve in Guatemala and a birthday in Italy...all spent on my own. But when there are no signs of celebration, does it even matter? In this episode I dig into what it's like to celebrate holidays and birthdays on the road.

The scariest moment of my life took place in the hills of south central Turkey when a man jumped off his motorcycle and held a shotgun to me. Thankfully, he was one of the good guys, only I didn't know that at the time.
