I’m Peter Elia, a long-distance hiker, journalist, and photographer, known as The Man Who Hiked The World. I walk to report — using long days on the trail as a way to understand landscape, culture, and the human stories.

​

My work focuses on feature on combining first-hand experience with a emphasis on walking as a way of seeing — slow, deliberate, and attentive, whilst exploring the world on foot.
