What is The World by Road: The World by Road is an expedition that has successfully circumnavigated the globe through 68 different countries, over 6 continents, covering 70,000 miles. Two years from the start of the expedition, the crew has returned from this epic journey to Denver, CO. However, one last frontier waits to be tackled- a journey to the far north of Alaska, making their expedition the first expedition ever to drive to the most distant reaches north and south of all the continents. This last segment will set their journey apart, giving them the uniqueness they need to achieve their ultimate goal, to change people’s minds about the realities happening in the world today.

“Many of the travelers…are no more than runners, long distance runners who chase madly around the globe, running away from discipline…and the square world. But others… are running toward rather than from… these are the true travelers, the ones to whom travel is a way of life rather than an escape from life…”- Harold Stephens
