Tom Kline has been an adventure racewalker for fifty years. He has walked the remotest lands on our planet, alone and on foot. Experience the sensation of being lost at night walking the vast Sahara Desert and dodging bears, wolves, and screeching puffin birds in his quest to encounter the Arctic Circle. Join Tom as he accompanies desperate Nicaraguan families up remote jungle rivers, avoids bandits across Panama, and confronts opium dealers in Laos. Tom will also escort you through the romance of Europe, the intrigue of South America, and the mystery of Asia and Africa’s ancient lands.Yet Tom Kline is also a humanitarian. To support the global fight against malaria, Tom became the first person to walk 6,500 miles across the barren tundra of Alaska, over the Rocky Mountains, and, nine years later, triumphantly arrive in Key West, Florida. Tom walked from New York to Washington, DC, to plead to Congress on behalf of inner-city poor, and wobbled again hundreds of miles to support drug treatment, funding for juvenile diabetes, and so much more!Tom Kline’s view of life can be summed up as follows: 'We can change our complex world one mile at a time, even if it means walking eighty-five thousand of them.'
