The World Walk
The (soon to be) first man and dog duo to walk around the world have a podcast! Recorded in his tent each week, Tom ruminates on the full spectrum of life's experiences; how walking for five years has changed him, the unique culture of the countries he's passed through, and why traveling with your best friend is always better. The World Walk podcast provides added depth for those who follow along with Tom and Savannah's adventure.
