A Journey Through European Countries
During this extraordinary trip, Steve Dunn walked through Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro, finally arriving in Albania after 63 days of travel. In total, he has covered 2,400 kilometers on foot.
A Dream to Walk to Albania
Dunn shared that he has been very active in various sports throughout his life, and his desire to walk to Albania developed in recent years. This was his first time visiting the country, and he expressed admiration for its natural beauty and the hospitality of its people.
“It’s my first time in Albania—a fantastic place. The mountainous regions, the lake—believe me, everyone I’ve met has been so kind. I met a young man working in construction who asked me what I liked about Albania. The country is developing and growing, it has a bright future, but what stood out to me was the absence of young people. They should stay in Albania; the country needs a strong generation to grow,” Dunn said.
Steve Dunn's journey isn’t over yet. He plans to continue walking to Greece, with the ultimate goal of reaching Athens and Corinth on foot. For this German pensioner, the adventure goes on, and he hopes to complete his journey in Greece.
