Meet Tom Fremantle, an author, and adventurer from England, who, now in his early 50s, decided he wanted to walk around the world. Tom has now covered over 4,300 miles of his world walk but still has a long way to go. To complete an official world walk in accordance with the rules laid down by the World Runners (and Walkers) Association, Tom needs to cover over 26,230 kilometres (more than 16,300 miles). This would be equal to covering at least four continents coast to coast, every step of the way. We meet Tom during his journey while in Austria . 'Sadly, humans are becoming increasingly scared of each other,' said Tom. 'But from my previous experience on the road, I was shown immense kindness. I think we can trust one another much more than we think and hope to prove this is still true. '
