At age 26, Jason Lewis decided to set off on a little trek around the world. At age 40, he's finally back home.

Global circumnavigation is quite an adventure, but when you do it in a rowboat, pedal boat, on inline skates, and on foot--it becomes an epic journey. Lewis made it to the U.S., Australia, the Himalayas, and Europe before pedaling back up the Thames to the exact spot he began his trek thirteen years ago. He made it through five continents, three oceans, and (I'm assuming) a lot of Ben-Gay muscle rub. Bet he'll be glad to sleep in his own bed tonight!

During his 46,000 mile trek, he was almost eaten by a crocodile, hit an ocean reef, broke both his legs, and was arrested for being a spy. Now that he's home, Jason says he'll be writing a book about his adventures. Something tells me it will be an interesting read.
