When most people think about travelling around the world, they would imagine going by plane but probably never dream of going on foot.
But one 27-year-old man, Alexander Campbell, who grew up in Sydney has set out on a hike that will see him walk 40,000 km across 30 countries and four continents(洲). And the reason? Because Alexander Campbell simply says “I really like walking”. The trip will raise much-needed money for the Fred Hollows Foundation. The Foundation helps poor people who are unable to see across the world.
Mr Campbell started his long journey from the Opera House in February, 2023. “I love the lifestyle. I get nice views,” he said. Mr Campbell loves long-distance hiking and he is a seasoned walker. He has already completed the 800km Colorado Trail(路线), 1600km Great Himalaya Trail and a 3750km hike from the Flinders Ranges to Sydney. “I wanted to do something bigger than I had done before, and years later I decided to hike around the world,” he said.
Mr Campbell had planned his hike carefully. “I was looking at different long distance hiking trails to do on the walk and I had to plan when to go to countries in the best seasons. By the time I am in far north Queensland and the Northern Territory it will be winter which is a good season to visit. Once I get to Nepal and India I won’t be able to go through those countries in winter.”
Mr Campbell plans to walk for four years but he will adjust(调整) if he gets injured, has bad weather or “gets tired of walking”.
