After finding himself homeless, Army veteran Jake Sansing decides to walk across America. Motivated by helping others and hoping to ease his symptoms of PTSD, his trek carries him much further than he intended. Follow along on this incredibly detailed journey that takes him from Tennessee to Maryland, to California, to Florida, to Alaska, back to Florida, and back to California again. Alone and unsupported, Jake must battle the elements, loneliness, near-death experiences, and, inevitably, his inner demons.

This story is not your typical "hike through the woods", like those told by people who share their walks along hiking trails. Instead, this story consists more of life on the road, though it has a heady mix of surviving outdoors, miles away from civilization. Day by day, Jake will put you in the driver's seat to show you exactly what it was like to live his three-year-long trek. You will feel like you are there, experiencing for yourself all of his hardships and emotions.

Love to hear your experiences during your travels across the USA and how one experience in the same place might not match the next experience in the same place at a later time ..everything changes!

Love that the author was also the narrator!

Not much detail of events made it bland. No excitement in voice....ever. as much as when eating a sandwich as when woke up with 100s of spiders on him in the middle of the night, in his sleeping bag. I tried speeding up to 110%. Then 120% hoping it would get better. Finally gave up. Not wasting any more time. The positive reiews must be from friends.
Audible will not let me return even though I am less than half way through. 😪😪😪

someone should else narrate. Not good storyteller
