Erden Eruc

Erden Eruç is the founder of Around-n-Over, an organization committed to educating and inspiring children through human-powered journeys. Eruç was moved by the passing of his climbing partner Göran Kopp in 2002 and soon thereafter took on a huge feat: circumnavigating the world solely by human power. In 2012, Eruç completed his journey, which took 5 years and 11 days, a total of 1,838 days from start to finish. During his trip, Eruç stopped at schools to share his stories with children and Around-n-Over was born.
