In 2017, Irishman Shane O'Doherty embarked on an epic journey that would take him from the southernmost point of South America to the northernmost point of North America. Over the course of 18 months, he hitchhiked 25,000 kilometers, crossing 17 countries and meeting countless locals along the way.

Shane's journey began in Patagonia, Chile. From there, he made his way north through Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, the United States, Canada, and finally, Alaska.

Along the way, Shane encountered a wide range of people and cultures. He was welcomed into homes, shared meals, and learned about different ways of life. He also faced challenges, including language barriers, cultural differences, and dangerous roads. But through it all, he never gave up on his dream of reaching the Arctic.

In August 2018, Shane finally reached his destination: the Arctic Ocean. He had traveled 25,000 kilometers, met countless people, and learned a great deal about himself and the world. His journey is a testament to the power of human spirit and the kindness of strangers.

Here are some of the highlights of Shane's journey:

  • He hitchhiked through the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth.
  • He climbed to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa.
  • He visited the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru.
  • He sailed through the Panama Canal.
  • He swam in the Caribbean Sea.
  • He drove through the Rocky Mountains.
  • He saw the Northern Lights in Alaska.

Shane's journey is an inspiration to us all. It shows us that anything is possible if we set our minds to it. It also reminds us that the world is a beautiful and diverse place, and that there are kind people everywhere.
