Over the course of seven years, six continents, and nearly 30,000 kilometers, Tom and his rescue pup Savannah navigated deserts, war zones, snowfields, mountains, and megacities. But what they really explored was the human condition—mortality, solitude, fear, love, and how to find peace in just existing.What began as a response to the sudden death of a close friend transformed into a global odyssey—one that asked more questions than it answered. We talk about:The real reason he chose to walk the worldWhat fear actually feels like in the middle of Central AmericaTraining Savannah into the perfect walking companionLiving through exhaustion, sickness, and uncertainty—and what it teaches youWhy photography became his gateway to connectionLetting go of social media, letting go of ego, and letting life just beWhat he thinks about adventure now, in his post-walk lifeFrom the wilds of the Atacama to the stillness of Antarctica, from dusty roads to TEDx stages, this is a reflection on what it means to live intentionally, with humility and grace.If you’ve ever questioned your path—or wondered what lies on the other side of fear—this one is for you.🔗 Resources & Mentions📖 The World Walk by Tom Turcich – Buy it here🐶 Savannah, the dog who walked the world – @theworldwalk📹 Tom’s TEDx Talk – Watch on YouTube✨ Key ThemesAdventure & Fear – Walking into the unknown with no backup plan Solitude & Resilience – What it means to be your own best company The Bond with Savannah – How a dog can become your home Slow Travel & Privilege – Seeing the world at human pace Letting Go – Of productivity, ambition, and becoming “more”🎙️ Please make sure to click the 'Follow' the show – It really helps the show, Thanks!Send us a textSupport the showThanks For Listening.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a comment and subscribe for more exciting content.
