Liam Garner likes adventures and had some experiences with long-distance biking. He had once ridden 750 km from Los Angeles to San Francisco. He thought he could ( easy) ride from Alaska, one of the northernmost places in North America, to Argentina, one of the southernmost ( city) in South America. So, as soon as he finished high school, Garner began preparing for his adventure.
On August 1, 2021, Garner started his journey. Garner rode through Mexico, Colombia and ten other countries. He was especially surprised by El Salvador. The boy thought it was"one of the most peaceful countries in the world. "
However, while he ( ride) through Colombia, Garner also met much trouble along the way. He was robbed at least five different times. Yet the boy faced an even ( big) challenge on his way. In Mexico, he experienced extreme heat. He ( fall) off his bike, landed on his head and had to spend a month in the hospital.
Garner first began cycling because he didn't have a car. But now, he considers it to be the best way to travel, "Since you go slow, you have the chances ( smell) and touch things, " he says. "You develop a special fondness for the little towns along the way. "
Over the course of 527 days, he had cycled 32, 000 kilometers. When he gets home, he hopes to write book about his journey. He hopes his ride will encourage others to start out on their own adventure.
