Michel Poletti on A Slow Path Around the World

Also via LinkedIn (and auto-translated):

On March 29th, I will set off with my brother-in-law Stéphane Causse — violinist at the Paris Opera and ultra-trailer — for a “slow travel” through Europe, Asia and Oceania. Starting from France, to reach Sydney by crossing Turkey, Central Asia, China and Southeast Asia. No planes (or almost), but trains and buses. We will take the time to let the world pass slowly through the window, to feel the distances, to meet those who live where we pass.

This journey is inspired by the reflection carried out by UTMB Group on the place of travel in our sport, at a time of ecological emergency. Travelling is an invaluable asset, but it’s time to question our habits.

They setup a fun webpage using Polarsteps where you can follow along on their journey: UTMB Slow Path.
