About the Book

Tackling the goal to walk 25,000 miles-the equivalent of the circumference of the planet-one man shares life-changing insights through his personal travel vignettes. Formerly a thrill-seeking journalist, Geoff Dalglish begins his impressive expedition after undergoing a spiritual and ecological awakening at the Findhorn Community in Scotland. His deliberate journey from Timbuktu to Antarctica to Hollywood unfolds in vivid and inspiring detail, revealing a wealth of unimaginable experiences while sharing a message about treading lightly on the Earth. From the horrors of bloody civil unrest and death-defying moments at the hands of armed guerilla soldiers to close encounters with the animal kingdom and finding healing balm within spiritual communities, this roller coaster of adventure chronicles a deeper quest for meaning that culminates in the joys of a life lived in simplicity and service. "What a touching story. Thank you Geoff for reminding us to be reverent and caring for the environment." -Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu "Reading this fast-paced book is like sitting at a table, Geoff across from you, his eyes alight as one story after another from a fascinating life spills out. This fast-paced book is written in such an engaging way that I found myself reading it in a day, unable to put it down. Dalglish has had a remarkable, adventure-filled life, covering war, racing Ferraris, climbing mountains, driving from China to Cape Town, and then he decides to walk the circumference of planet earth with a message for us to love and protect our home better. As he does, a new peace enters his writing and we know, his journey has just begun. As Geoff says, "God is found in the most unexpected places," and that can include the pages of a book."  - Charlene Smith, author of Mandela a Celebration of a Great Life. This autobiography should be a must-read for every self-proclaimed speed-freak, petrolhead and rationalist materialist. Geoff chronicles his life journey from a somewhat self-obsessed, hedonistic egoist through myriad experiences, some of them distinctly unflattering and certainly uncomfortable. He journals the story of an increasingly self-aware pilgrim, on a mission to deepen his connection with Mother Earth, her creatures and her peoples, and to spread that message in the time-honoured way - on foot, a step at a time. This true pilgrim's progress is done with appropriate humility and self-depreciation, even as his - and our - appreciation of the wonder of life in all its manifestations and glory grows, step-by-step, page-by-page. An excellent work that reads well and should be a worthy guide to every modern pilgrim in search of their own and wider truths.' - Chris Erasmus, editor of Odyssey Magazine
