Walking to Listen

The journey feels so personal and purposeful—I'm curious what motivated the author to undertake such a long walk and how he chose the stories he shared along the way.

The way the author connects with so many different people made me wonder if I would have opened up as easily or if the stories would have resonated differently for others.

Walking thousands of miles isn't easy, and I was impressed by the resilience shown. What do you think kept the author's spirits high during the most challenging moments?
