Trekking the Planet started with a dream – a 424-day, around-the-world expedition (TTP RTW) to raise K-12 geo-literacy. During this adventure we traveled to 53 countries on six continents, visiting some of the most remote and unspoiled places in the world. We minimized flights and traveled on the ground using local guides and public transport wherever possible. Our TTP RTW trip had over 50,000 students following our journey from 20 countries.
In 2016 we began hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, completing 1,828 miles that year. After adding more miles in 2019, 2021, and 2023, we completed the entire 2,650-mile trail.
We visited 27 U.S. National Parks during 2017, hiking more than 400 miles over four months. In 2018, we completed four multi-day treks in Europe, totaling over 500 miles. Since 2019, we have hiked over 400 miles on the Arizona Trail in the U.S. West.
In 2022 we trekked in the British Isles, hiking about 700 miles over four months in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Our latest journey was an 800-mile trek along the California Missions Trail to visit the 21 missions that were established by Spain between 1769 and 1823. As we hiked, we learned about the cultural significance of the missions and view California’s diverse natural beauty.
