“So far it’s been alright, I think. My feet and shoulders hurt, but I think I can go further,” says Ryan Park, a South Korean who is in the midst of walking around Iceland. Ryan has been on the road for 2 months and was hiking through the sleet and snow in Fnjóskadalur valley, North Iceland, when a reporter from the National Broadcasting Service met up with him.
The reason behind Ryan’s travels, he says, is that he simply wanted to push himself to the limit. “I felt like I wanted to do something really hard and that the experience would make me stronger,” he explained.
Ryan has been sleeping rough during the trip, sometimes spending the night in a tent in freezing temperatures. “Sometimes I put up a tent in abandoned houses. Sometimes I’ve asked at farms and people would let me stay on their couch.”
The very driven young man has two weeks to complete his journey before flying back home to South Korea.
