Posner’s 'Walk Across America'

I saw a really cool journey that inspired me a bit when I was doing my travelling.

Mike Posner, grammy nominated singer and songwriter of popular songs like, ‘Cooler Than Me’ and ‘I Took a Pill in Ibiza,’ took his own extraordinary journey. After reaching the top of his industry, accumulating fame, and fortune, he felt empty. Then, both his father, and his friend, Avicci, died. Mike Posner decided it was time to start living. There was no time to waste.

He decided to walk all the way across America. That’s right, walking. He walked 2,851 miles from Asbury Park, New Jersey to the Pacific Ocean of California. It took him 188 days to accomplish this task. On his journey he encountered doubts, fears, and pain. He even got bit by a rattle snake in Kansas, and had to stay in the hospital for a several days.

When you realize you’re gonna die, you can actually start to live.

- Mike Posner
