On May 21st,2022,Tom Turcich of New Jersey became the 10th person to walk around the world.Over seven years,he walked 48,000 kilometers across 38 countries.
Turcich said after a friend died at age 17,he started to look at life differently,and decided to go on a joumey around the world.
It took over eight years to save and plan before Turcich finally left his home on April 2nd,2015.About four months into the journey,Turcich adopted(收養(yǎng)) a dog,Savannah,from an animal center in Texas.She joined him for the rest of the trip.The pair walked around 30-40 kilometers a day,spending most nights camping,Some parts could not be done on foot,however—such as when Turcich and Savannah took a boat from Uruguay to Antarctica.
In late 2017,Turcich had to return home to recover from an illness he got while traveling through Ireland and the UK.
He and Savannah started walking again in May 2018,going through Europe,North Africa and Tirkiye before getting stuck (困于) in Azerbaijan for six months because of the COVID-19 pandemic.They were able to travel to Kyrgyzstan before taking a plane to Seattle (西雅圖).From there,they walked back to New Jersey.
