Praise for The World Walk
"Turcich deftly describes the ins and outs of an often grueling expedition during which his body was occasionally battered, but his ability to persevere ran deep. This spirited book about one mans journey of self-discovery will serve as an inspiration for others who dream about a worldwide journey." Booklist
"In this propulsive, gripping tale, Tom Turcich brings to life a cast of fascinating characters, immerses us in wild and wonderful landscapes, and helps us make sense of the world and our place in it. A delightful companion for adventurers and dog lovers alike, The World Walk poignantly grapples with strength and vulnerability, love and loss, and unpacks what it really means to summon the will to keep going." Suleika Jaouad, New York Times bestselling author of Between Two Kingdoms and The Book of Alchemy
"From the very first page, Turcich's combination of humility and self-assurance, his propulsive storytelling, facility with both tiny details, enormous concepts, and everything in between, compels the reader to keep going, step by step, through this quietly stunning narrative, whose conclusions feel deeply relevant to this fractured period of humanity." Laurie Woolever, New York Times bestselling author of World Travel with Anthony Bourdain, Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography, and Care and Feeding
"Turcichs account of his 28,000-mile journey is simply astonishing. In understated prose, he tells the kinds of stories most travelers can only dream of. His tale is marked by action, adventure, and danger, of course, but it is guidedquietlyby friendship, love, curiosity, and a deep sense of humanity. With The World Walk, Turcich joins in the long and grand tradition of travel writers who discover our planet is, perhaps contradictorily, at once infinitely bigger and surprisingly smaller than they had imagined." Jonathan Arlan, author of Mountain Lines: A Journey through the French Alps
