I started this long walk on May 11, 2014, from Estonia in Northern Europe and completed walking 20,000 kilometers over 4 years later in Sumatra Island of Indonesia.

The 22 countries where I walked were: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Iran, India, Nepal, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

The longest distance I walked in India - over 3,600 kilometers or 5,793 miles which took me 7 months.

To cross some rivers, seas and an ocean I also used some ferries, ships, and planes.
20,000 kilometers or 12,427 miles is the distance that I covered 100% by only walking!

SOME FACTS AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES

👟 I used total of 24 pairs of different shoes.

👪 I slept and lived shortly in over 220 local homes together with local families.

🏕 I slept alone in a tent for over 650 nights.

☘ When I started this long walk the total amount of money that I had in my pocket and in my bank was 8 euros. I even collected, washed, and ate some edible leaves from the roadside. Later I rented out and sold my house which made the journey a bit easier.

💰 All my travel expenses for 1 full year were an average of 3,000-3,600 euros which is 3,245 – 3,785 US dollars $.

💓 Over 2,200 kind people stopped me on the road and asked me many questions. They gave me a lot of free drinks and food, invited me to their homes, gave me many gifts and even money!

🚶‍♂️ In 1 day I normally walked 25 - 35 kilometers. My daily record was 64 kilometers or 39 miles. I was going very slowly and I did not want to break any records.

🎒 The weight of my bag varied a lot from a total of 8 kg to 23 kilograms.

❄ For many weeks I was walking and camping in the snowy mountain of Northern Turkey with even -17 degrees celsius or / 1.4 °F.

☀ And for many weeks I passed some desert areas in Iran and in India where the temperature rose every day to +40 to + 42 degrees Celcius or 107.6 °F.

For many months I walked in the monsoon rains of Asia, where few times the water rose over my knees.

* I crossed alone a hilly jungle in Laos where on the third day I finished all my food and I started to eat fresh bamboo leaves.

* 2 times I was attacked by dogs (India and Thailand) and once needed to go to the hospital because of that.

* Over 1 week my walking was escorted by very heavily armed police forces in Northeast India and in Myanmar.

* In different countries I was invited to visit over 45 schools and universities to share my travel experiences and photos with tens of thousands of students.

* For 1 month I lived in a Zen monastery in the mountains of Vietnam.

* My dear mother came to meet me and to travel together with me in Greece, Turkey, Nepal, and Vietnam. In Vietnam we bought one bicycle, my mother was riding the bicycle with our bags and I was running (not walking) near her for 2 weeks.

* Many people joined my walk in different countries. The biggest group I had in Vietnam where 13 people who joined the long walk for 5 days.

* I found new homes to 3 dogs and 4 cats that I found abandoned on very remote roadsides.

* And I gave over 140 international media interviews.

After I had walked 13,000 kilometers I had arrived in Vietnam where I met a girl named Sâm. She was a marathon runner and wished to join my walk for a few days.

In the next exactly 1 year she came to meet me and to walk together with me exactly 10 times – 2 times by bus and 8 times by airplane in 5 different countries! Together we walked over 750 kilometers.

In October 2018 we got married and last year in March we became parents of a baby girl.

Now we are making plans to continue traveling around the world all 3 of us.

My dream is to walk in different countries at least +20,000 kilometers more to complete walking the total distance of planet Earth’s Equator which is 40,075 kilometers or 24,901 miles.

Thank you very very much for your attention!!!
Please be safe, healthy, and happy!!!
