i will not say congratulations and woow cause what you do seems to be so natural and the only thing to do in this beautiful damned world..
and your reasons and nonreasons…. like an echo inside…
its nice to know there are kindred spirits living somewhere in the world

i have also started a similar journey in turkey in smaller scale.. i am in week 3..it will take if everything goes ok 10 months to finish a 2500-3000km route..
i would really appreciate if you would help me with technical practical problems..
first of all,, the way i walk, i rarely use roads, not even dirt roads, i am a little escapist from people…im just trying to go through mountains and forests and with the help of a gps i find the nearst villages to supply..and hopefully be alone for a week again..and there lies my problem..i can comfortably carry only a weeks amount of supply in my back..
how did you solve this problem… do you walk only on roads? no terrain?…did you have your cart from the start? is it possible with your cart to walk on easy terrain?… how many kilos can you carry ?, and how many days can you last without resupplying..

these i ask also because you stole my next project of walking from trhoug south america–from south to north

anyways, iin the andean mountains in chile, is it usually possible to find a place to resupply in a weeks trek?..lets say 100km…i can only walk 15kma day because i am on terrain..or is it just impossible to do this with a backpack in south america… should i use a cart like you? and use the roads? what about in the desert and the amazonas?

please share your experiences

and please dont stop..walk from east to west…go over bering into russia, down to china tibet and iran,, i am walking from the west of turkey to east..perhaps i can continue to iran and we will meet somewhre in asia

with loveing support
ali
