What began as a two man, three year journey from the UK to Australia on foot for charity, turned into a one man, five year solo walk. In an attempt to finish what he started, Arjun Bhogal has had to contend with cruel winters with temperatures as low as -45, inhospitable regions, jungles, deserts and even threats of being beheaded. Arjun completed the charity walk from Cardiff, Wales to Cardiff, New South Wales, Australia, in May 2017 journeying through places such as Afghanistan, the tribal regions of India, Myanmar, Indonesia and the Nullarbor. He was joined by friends and people he met along the way, people who wanted to experience his journey first hand.
Arjun's journey has been a strange one, full of once in a lifetime experiences, mishaps and adventures, involving jails, police corruption and even the Taliban. Arjun hopes he can not only help educate young people about other cultures and the world outside theirs, but inspire them to step up and take on adventures of their own, no matter what gender or indeed race. Having both started with no experience in outdoor survival, Arjun and Kieran's story is one of 'learning as you go' and adapting to unsavory conditions. Arjun hopes through telling this story, addressing key issues, from depression and anxiety to motivation, he will help spread the word that you do not indeed need to be special to achieve something special. But all you need is to make the decision to achieve something and then be willing to pay the price to achieve it.
