69: The Walk for Love: James Walked Across a Country… for Her

What if the most powerful way to say “I love you” wasn’t with words… but with 14 days of walking across a country?

In this unforgettable episode, James Thompson returns to share his most personal journey yet: a 14-day trek across Costa Rica to propose to his fiancée, Vanessa.

After walking across America for peace in 2020 and Oahu for purpose in 2023, this latest adventure was fueled entirely by love. From grueling climbs to stormy days, James shares the raw, emotional, and magical moments that led up to the most meaningful question he’s ever asked.
