only 10 men are known to have walked around the world, that is defined as walking more than 21,000 miles and at least crossing 4 continents. Tom Turcich walked 28,000 miles and became the 10th and most recent, and it took him 7 years


He decided to walk to Argentina for the first leg of his trip. Shortly before he was due to leave he met Tom Marchetty, who customized a baby buggy for his travels. The buggy would hold all his essentials – tent, sleeping bag, laptop, camera, batteries, plastic food crate (partly to hold his food, partly to insulate the smell from animals), water bottles, six pairs of socks, four pairs of underwear, a pair of trousers, a pair of shorts, long-sleeved shirt and short-sleeved shirt, wool shirt, hoodie, jacket and waterproof shoes.

Savannah, his rescue dog, met him soon after he began, and was with him for the last 25,000 miles, they travelled through 38 countries and crossed every continent except Australia, which he could not do because of lockdown restrictions. 


and a 3 wheel baby stroller that has made a 28,000 mile around the world trip, is really cool, and deserves a place on the blog, along with Tom's story.
