A man's dream to walk the world's continents on nothing but two feet. Check out this very inspiration video http://www.sharethestory.org/LoveInMotion.html
Since 2006 Daren Wendell has been planning, saving, reading, researching, and training for The Earth Expedition; a dream that he has committed many years to accomplish. “I am drawn to challenge and what people say I cannot do. I’m attracted to risk; I’m attracted to the unexpected, attracted to new people, new languages, new cultures, and new places."
People always askhim the question Why? "I guess I should have a pretty good answer for this question considering I will be answering it for the next 8 years of my life.
There are many reasons why:
- Legacy: I don't have any children, in fact, I haven't dated for about a year because of the expedition, but there will be a day when I am gone and my children will say: "My father gave back to this world instead of just taking from it: he saved lives, and he was a voice for the voiceless. I can't think of a better legacy."
- One of my biggest fears is to look back on my life and wish I would have lived it differently. Therefore I refuse to live a life of mediocrity. I meet so many people who have lost sight of their dreams and ambitions and settle for something else. I feel like I have been given this gift of life and I want to live it to the fullest.
- I also want to raise awareness and move people to action when it comes to the Water Crisis and AIDS Pandemic that is hitting Africa by advocating for www.bloodwatermission.com
- I want to inspire people to follow theirdreams and help figure out why they are on this earth. I feel ifthey miss out on that then they will miss the reason they were created
- I am fiercely wild at heart. I love adventure, change, new people, cultures, mental challenges, languages, physical challenges, spiritual challenges
- I am sure that I will discover a lot more of the why as I walk. But for now… I stick with just "Life to the fullest”
