Episode 60 | The World Walk - Tom Turcich LIVE at Whistler

At Whistler this year, we had a guest. His name was Tom. Tom walked around the world.

No! Really!…..He walked around the world on his own two feet with his dog Savannah. Who better to prepare you to take on a 36 hour hiking challenge than him?

Tom’s World Walk came after life threw him one of those curveballs; the ones you really don’t see coming, and the ones that change you from that moment forward.

Tom was 17 years old and lost his best friend to a tragic accident. Faced with his own mortality, he resolved to extract as much as possible from a brief life.

Knowing he wanted a life of adventure and understanding, he decided to go on a walk….but not just any walk… a walk around the world.

He spent the next eight years saving and planning, and at age 26 he started walking.

Seven years, six continents, and 28,000 miles later, he is one of only a handful of people who have traveled around the world on foot and his dog, Savannah, is the first dog to do so.

His world walk was a deep dive into the kindness of humanity and an amazing example of how far perseverance can take you.
