Seven years, six continents, 37 countries and 48,000 km: the epic adventure of an American with his dog

Very few people attempt to walk around the world, and even fewer manage to complete the journey.

On May 21, 2022, Tom Turcich, from New Jersey, became the 10th person on record to accomplish this remarkable feat, while his four-legged companion Savannah was the first dog to do so.

The pair were greeted with a huge homecoming party, attended by many of Turcich's friends and family, along with well-wishers.

The triumphant moment brought the end of a seven-year, 48 thousand kilometer journey.

"It was very surreal," Turcich tells CNN Travel from his parents' home in Haddon County. "I had imagined for a long time what the end would be like. And when it did, there were people lining the street and walking with me.

"The main emotion was just relief. It had dominated my life for 15 years, and to be able to put it behind me was amazing.”

The inspiration for the trip came from a sad loss in 2006, when his friend Ann Marie died in a jet ski accident at the age of 17.

Turcich, who has been compared to Forrest Gump, the character Tom Hanks played in the 1994 film, decided he needed travel and adventure in his life.

After reading about Steven Neëman, listed by Guinness World Records as the first person to walk around the world, and walking adventurer Karl Bushby, who has circumnavigated the globe on foot since 1998, Turcich decided to take on the challenge himself.
