St. Paul native Andrew Siess has traveled more than 12,000 miles by foot
Two years ago, Andrew Siess began circling the globe by foot. So far, he's walked more than 12,000 miles and covered a few thousand more by boat or plane.
It's been a true adventure: His sailboat was hit by a sperm whale, he played his violin in the streets of Italy to make money and he met up with a Minnesota friend in a remote area of Mongolia.
The 24-year-old St. Paul native is back in the Twin Cities after recently finishing a walk from Anchorage, Alaska. He's on a break now, but plans to leave for the next leg of his great walking adventure in September.
Siess joins The Daily Circuit to discuss his adventures.
