I'll be walking two to three months per year and the daily distance will be 20-40km depending on the going. I'll be camping in the wilder parts and staying in guest houses in urban areas.
Why do this? I hope to learn more about our mysterious island nation and I can't think of anywhere else where each footstep leads to such different surprises, beauty and strangeness.
