According to this article, "On Saturday, British adventurer Jason Lewis finally came home, completing a 13-year, 46,000-mile human-powered circumnavigation of the globe. " He used inline skates, a kayak, a bicycle, and a pedal boat. There were many obsticles such as huge waves, winds, a car accident, a whale, crocodiles, imprisonment for being a "spy" and many other challenges. The trip was only expected to take three and a half years but numerous setbacks occured. Jason took breaks for weeks at a time and had 9 months in the hospital when he got hit by a car on his bike and broke both his legs.
There are many things that people set out to do but never accomplish. When you hear about those like Mr. Lewis, you are inspired and motivated to go after your dreams no matter how big becuase there are always people achieving the impossible.
