Walking around the world by Rico from Germany

A friend suggested that I interview this man so I met him at Bear Trapper and asked what his purpose or goal was for his walk around the world. He said that from the time he was a young man he wanted to wander. His life work was not very fulfilling (he was an insurance adjuster). One day he quit his job and started walking. He went to Turkey and then onto Australia and New Zealand (taking a plane when he had to). Covid came and put a halt to his walk about. He flew home to Germany until the restrictions were lifted and then flew to Vancouver, Canada to begin his walk again. He plans to be in Denver by September 15 where he has friends and then he will fly home for the winter and start again in spring. He plans to finish in New York in the summer of 2023. Rico said that he would ask people if he could sleep in their back yard and the majority of people were very helpful and pleasant. He found good people wherever he stopped like the England’s who let him sleep in one of their cabins. Should you like to follow hi on his journey-go to www.ricoslongwalk.com
