Tom Turcich is the tenth person in the world to walk around the Earth, and together with his devoted dog Savannah he crossed deserts, jungles, and mountain passes to show that the limits of what’s possible go much further than they seem.
This book is not only an account of a record-breaking route, but also an honest journey inward: how to endure pain and doubt, what to do when you feel like giving everything up, where to find support amid uncertainty, and how to learn to see beauty right now.
Tom Turcich is the tenth person on the planet to complete a walking circumnavigation. He became a prominent figure on social media, and his story made it into the feeds of major media outlets. Through deserts, jungles, cities, and mountains, Tom and his faithful Savannah, day by day, faced not only fatigue and dangers, but also their own inner fears. They had to secure food and water, look for safe places to sleep, and at the same time deal with the pressure of their own thoughts. Again and again, Tom encountered the urge to stop and go back home, testing the strength of his body and character. What is truly important? Where does the strength to keep going come from? How do you find joy in the present when the future is vague and тревожной (worrisome)? On this challenging path, Tom step by step found answers. Along with the author and his brave dog, the reader sets out on a journey too—to themselves, to hidden resources, to learning how to hear the inner voice and notice the beauty all around.
