Finishing year 4: walking the length of the Earth!

This is the first “day in the life” video I’ve been able to put together, right at the end of the 4th year walking the length of the earth.
It shows you the experiences, setbacks and climates as I move north towards Alaska.
Thanks for supporting me this past year. I’m looking forward to being more active on KZbin as we push towards the USA.

Lucy....I've been following your channel here and there....congrats!! I am a 56 year old woman who recently quit her job and is heading off to hike the Great American Rail-Trail, east to west, with my dog. You are a great inspiration!

[@LucyBarnard]

Oh I really want to do that hike!!! I hope you have a great time with your doggo!!

[@dietzyfly]

I'm excited! My main concern is my dog....worried about keeping her safe and healthy! And having enough food for her along the way....@@LucyBarnard

[@taniabanek350]

Hi Lucy, I absolutely loved this video! All the best for 2024 🎉

[@sandramarson8542]

So enjoyed watching you & Wombat, thanks for putting the video together. I'm blown away by how beautiful & generous so many people have been, you clearly put out positive vibes, no wonder people want to spend time with you both.

[@LucyBarnard]

Me too!! I think it’d be a different ball game if I didn’t have these daily interactions!

[@thomas.deliot]

Thank you so much for keeping these longer videos going, they really feel like a special treat every once in a while, it's just so relaxing and adventurous to watch at the same time, and brings me inspiration to go out more again. Love it :)

[@LucyBarnard]

Really?? Thanks for saying that because KZbin is a hard world and I get worried that I talk toooooooo much! 🤣🤣

[@thomas.deliot]

@@LucyBarnard Absolutely not ! I don't know what it is specifically but I'd say you have a pretty unique, simple format, and it works so well ! For me at least :)

[@fimacdonald2003]

Toucans! Love the video, thank you 😊

[@helenwallis5914]

Congrats Lucy, fabulous insight to your daily life. What wonderful people you are meeting. I had a tear when you were talking about the man who was apologising for not having enough money for the food. I wanted to say again how amazing you are and I’m cheering you on from Oz.

[@LucyBarnard]

Thanks!! Yeah, that was pretty rough. Especially when I'm just so happy to be able to have a conversation with someone. The rest isn't important.

[@naturallynourishedvillagea2318]

Happy new year Lucy & Wombat! Hope your time off was refreshing and you’re ready to rock and roll again ☺️

[@user-cv2of7hj8h]

Wow from Toucans to ticks, oh and toileting lol, a real problem out on the trails; I love your stories, and they are never too long. In fact, I love replaying them. I love your storytelling style, they are never too long. 😊😊😊

[@carol-annpickvance3671]

Amazing! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your adventures with us! $ years! What a milestone! 🎉 here’s to an epic 2024!

[@HeiRobi]

I love following your adventures, I am traveling around South America with a motorbike (lazy😂), such a shame I couldn't meet you!

[@lynschostakowski8819]

Thanks for a great watch. So good to see how you and wombat are doing. Hope you had a great christmas break with your family.

[@melusine826]

Congrats Lucy and wombat ❤❤❤

[@Graeme_MacDonald]

Thanks!

[@LucyBarnard]

You bet! 👍 🙃

[@ymmm-yogamovementmeditatio9507]

Wombat is gorgeous. What an adventure you are living

[@Thommo57]

Thank you Lucy for brining some sense into this crazy world we are currently living in. Love your videos and always look forward when it comes up with a notification a new once has landed. Will donate something to keep you and Wombat going. Have a safe and successful 2024. Geoff Shepparton

[@LucyBarnard]

Hi Geoff!! It’s great to see you’re still watching and than you so much!!! A hot shower is well and truely in need!

[@767driver4]

Way cool Lucy! Do take care and hope to see you in the U.S.! 😃❤️

[@LucyBarnard]

Hopefully we’ll be there by June!!!😊

[@767driver4]

@@LucyBarnard Awesome! 😃👍

[@OutbackMike]

Thanks

[@GinandRing]

It’s just so refreshing to watch your updates, real, raw, honest adventure! Love it wholeheartedly Also we keep meaning to ask, we welcomed our cattle dog, Taka into our lives about the same time you found Wombat… and I always wonder does Wombat have the iconic traits of car chasing and selective hearing and if so do you find this challenging as he seems to be off lead whenever you film… which kinda makes sense because filming with them on lead isn’t ideal 🤦🏼‍♀️ All the best for 2024, you’re doing amazing ❤

[@LucyBarnard]

Hey you two!! Nice to see you’re still here ensuring with me!!!! No, car chasing was something I never let him do. I’m not winning with llamas or squirrels though. 🦙 🐿️ Every when he’s being an absolute rat bag, I never get mad at him if he comes back to me so his recall is still pretty good. I hope you three are planning an adventure together!!

[@GinandRing]

We will always be here quietly cheering you on 😊 Adventure is always on the horizon 🌅🌊🚐 the next 12 months the 3 of us (plus the cat 😂) are bus lifing around the West and NT before we restore a boat and then pack our backpacks for some big overseas travel again! When 2020 happened we had to postpone our original travel plans, the ones we had hoped to hike with you during. We still hope to cross paths with you one day. Oh and we started a YT channel too 😂 but yours is way more interesting than ours!

[@jasonfoster7403]

Happy New Year Lucy and Wombat. Looking forward to continuing to follow your journey.

[@EFarrell-wz5ez]

Very best wishes on your travels! This is one of the most quietly inspiring channels on all of KZbin... It's brilliant watching your videos... Best of luck in 2024!

[@LucyBarnard]

Wow, thank you!!!

[@pjacobsen1000]

I love these updates. Like that Dutch couple in the video, I mostly travel by bicycle, but walking sounds attractive, too. What a great adventure! Those pipe bridges look a bit precarious for cyclists, though.

[@LucyBarnard]

Oh for sure!! We spoke about them, they walked over them 😬

[@AnthonyGilbert]

Awesome. Thanks for the update. All the best as you venture towards the US!

[@mdabulkasemtuhin9269]

Good of luck. So Beautifully Smile 👌✌️

[@user-ie3mg8mc9u]

Nice nice I’m planning to walk to South-Africa from spain. Nice adventure going out there❤

[@LucyBarnard]

Ahhhhh that’s so exciting!!!!! 🤩

[@user-rd1pu4mc6r]

Felicidades amiga 🎉🎉 Feliz y orgulloso!! Abrazo a wombat, My Urrao's Best 4 legs friend 😊

[@garyhaddon8139]

Love your work.

[@LucyBarnard]

Getting there!

[@kathyatcrossway]

So wonderful to watch your video. Thank you Lucy. It’s very interesting seeing all the environmental challenges and finding out how you meet people and that some are wonderfully helpful and giving making your journey look like to me that you have some lovely highlights lifting both your moods - you and wombat x It’s Jan 26 here now so it’s past wishing you a happy new year but will wait sh you a good one anyway as you travel this huge country this year. All the best

[@LucyBarnard]

Thanks Kathy!!! I’m tentatively aiming for Canada by Christmas. If I get there… it’ll be the first time I reach a distance goal!!🫣🙃🤞

[@alisonackerley2755]

Thanks for sharing this video! Absolutely brilliant story. Hope you had a great Christmas with family. Can’t wait for the next instalment! Take care of yourself and Wombat!

[@LucyBarnard]

Thanks!! Hopefully the next one will be ready in 2 weeks 🤞

[@paulneubert2698]

I really love your content! The fauna looks so familiar to Germany, that is quite interesting to me haha.

[@LucyBarnard]

I feel the same way about home too! Especially when I see Eucalyptus trees!

[@mrandmrstravelnl]

What a nice video again Lucy and we loved the end with the croissants ❤❤

[@LucyBarnard]

Awwww you too 🥰

[@pinpartnershipJenni]

Thanks!! We had a great time. 🥰

Great video! Loved the content❤

[@LucyBarnard]

🥰🥰🥰 Thanks!

[@HuangXingQing]

Awesome!!!!! In China, when they see you off after a visit it's called 'song'. Ni sang wo (You/sang/me). I wondered how you'll walk through these united States?

[@LucyBarnard]

I’m hoping I’ll walk through The States this year so we will see!! I am also looking forward to a project I have my eye on in China… and would love to si what ni sang wo looks like! All I know how to say in mandarin is “it’s an honour to meet you”, and “I’m very hungry” 🫣

[@HuangXingQing]

Well, perhaps I'll see you on the PCT should you use it. So far it's been about 25% of normal snowpack. Peter Jenkins got my wanderlust started long ago and he eventually 'walked across China'. I look forward to the day you're crowned for your 'walk'!!!!!! @@LucyBarnard

[@poilkjmnb987654]

I admire your perseverance. Hope this might contribute to a hotel one night.

[@LucyBarnard]

Whaaaaaaat!! Thanks so much, you have no idea what good timing this is (or perhaps from instagram you do?) Thanks a million!!

[@poilkjmnb987654]

@LucyBarnard will have tcheck insta!
