Most people would say it's crazy. Tom Turcich called it a plan. The day before his 26th birthday, in April 2015, a man from Haddon Township, New Jersey, put on his backpack and started walking. He figured it would take five years. Instead, it took seven. By the time he stopped, he'd walked across six continents and 38 countries, and he was no longer walking alone. A rescue dog named Savannah had joined him along the way. Much of what we know about his journey comes straight from him: in an interview with CNN Travel after he finished, Turcich described the walk, his dog, and the moment it all ended, from his parents' home in Haddon Township.
