Liam Garer was 17 years old when he stood at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, pointed his bike south and started cycling. On January 10,2023,527 days later, he arrived in Ushuaia—the world's southernmost city, in the south American country of Argentina. He cycled 32, 000 km through 14 countries, becoming the youngest person ever to do so.
After finishing high school, Garner didn't want to go to college right away and he wanted to learn more about the world. Then, someone advised him to read the book—To ShakeThe Sleeping Self. It tells the story of a man who biked from Oregon to Patagonia. After reading it, Garner kept thinking to himself, "If that man could do it, why can't I?" So, he decided to give it a try.
Garner camped from Alaska all the way to Central America. After that, he stayed in hostels (招待所) and strangers' homes as he cycled through South America. He advised everyone to see the world if possible. Although he experienced lots of difficulties along the way, he believed that nothing was more important than hope.
So what's next for Garner? Well, he's not going to fly home. He plans to send his bike home and walk back from Argentina.
① Garner finished high school.
② Garner cycled through South America.
③ Garner read To Shake The Sleeping Self.
④ Garner left Alaska and began to cycle south.
