Adventure Diaries Podcast
What does it take to walk around the world? 🌍 For Tom Turcich, the tenth person ever to complete a World Walk, the journey began with the tragic loss of his best friend Anne-Marie at just 16. That moment sparked a deep reflection on mortality, purpose, and how to truly live.
Over seven years and six continents, Tom discovered lessons about resilience, fear, solitude, and the richness of slow travel. Alongside him walked Savannah—his loyal rescue dog and the first dog to circle the globe. Together they faced deserts, mountains, illness, cultural encounters, and countless moments of beauty and hardship.
In this conversation, Tom shares:
✨ How accepting death gave him fearlessness to pursue extraordinary goals.
✨ The overwhelming fear of his early days walking through Central America—and how he overcame it.
✨ Why walking fosters mindfulness, resilience, and authentic human connection.
✨ Savannah’s remarkable story—from a shelter puppy to global walking companion.
✨ What adventure teaches us about privilege, presence, and appreciating life as it is.
