A man who walked around the world
> He was already an optimist when he set off, but by the time he returned he had even more faith in humankind, if less in some of the systems we live under.<p>That's been my experience. When I turn off the news and just get outside and in the company of strangers, I get a much more uplifted view of humanity. I would love to walk/bike on a long journey like this guy did, but it may remain a fantasy the rest of my life. I do road-trip every chance I can.
