Two brave adventurers and best friends have joined forced to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime trek from one side of the globe to the other.

Luke Deakin set off on an insane trek from his homeland, the UK, to Vietnam, embarking on a staggering over 10,000 kilometre journey, now approaching his 114th day of the trek.

On his 100th day, while relaxing in the snowy mountains of Serbia, he was joined by Maltese adventurer and good mate Kyle Mintoff.

On their social media, the duo have been uploading their progress as they take it day-by-day, location-by-location, showcasing the beauty of the areas they visit and the power of friendship.

Lovin Malta reached out to the two to answer some questions about this interesting experience and share some sneaky exclusives while they’re at it.

When Kyle was asked about what inspired him to start his adventure, he credited his fascination with slow travel and of course doing it all with his mate.

However, the wholesome and high-endurance trip doesn’t come without challenges. When asked about the hardships they endured, Luke was the first to chime in with:

“Starting with no training whatsoever was tough. Practically doing a marathon every day, all the blisters, it’s not been easy.” Kyle then jumped in to cheekily add, “For me it’s been having to deal with you every day.”

But jokes aside, despite facing gruelling physical challenges, it would seem like these two admirably push each other to the limits they set out to achieve.

From day to night, and from restaurants to bumping car tracks, the lads complete an average walking distance of 35km per day.

With Luke’s journey already being well over 100 days and Kyle nearing his sixth, there are still many many days ahead filled with beautiful scenery and spontaneous adventures until they reach their final destination.

If you’re interested in following their journey and maybe even helping them out financially, be sure to check out Kyles website and both of their social media.

Goodluck Kyle and Luke!
