The-walk.se podcast documents the on-going chronicles of my ambition to walk from Stockholm, Sweden to  Sydney, Australia a journey of 15,600km (as the crow flies). I started walking in May, 2013 and have no idea of how long it is going to take me!I plan to walk through western Europe, the USA , Asia and Australia. Although there is a rough route plan, everything is susceptible to change. A vagabonding adventure through life.Minimalism is one of the key-words for the walk and I will be walking alone and have all my own equipment along with me. No follow vehicles or pack animals! :)I hope that some of my friends will be inspired to join me for some sections and if you feel motivated, don't be afraid to get in contact with me and check where I am. With an anticipated distance of 30,000km ahead of me, I will no doubt enjoy the company.

So Glad To Find This!

This podcast is truly mesmerising peak into the experience of culture and desired challenge. Matts is literally walking from Stockholm, Sweden, to Sydney, Australia; and he articulately and, indeed, soothingly, recounts his experiences with the characters and experiences he encounters. For me, it is a kind of peaceful, mental vacation. You feel like you are along for the walk!
