Liam Garner was 17 years old when he stood at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, pointed his bike south and started cycling. 527 days later, on January 10, 2023, he arrived in Ushuaia—the world's southernmost city—in the south American country of Argentina. He cycled 32,000 km through 14 countries, becoming the youngest person ever to do so.
After finishing high school, Garner didn't want to go to college right away and he wanted to learn more about the world. Then, someone advised him to read the book—To Shake the Sleeping Self. It tells the story of a man who biked from Oregon to Patagonia. After reading it, Garner kept thinking to himself, “________” So, he decided to give it a try.
Garner camped from Alaska all the way to Central America. After that, he stayed in hotels and strangers' homes as he cycled through South America. He advised everyone to see the world if possible.
