I am Taina Liekari, a sunny mother of three grown children and a grandmother of two lovely grandchildren. I live with my husband in Fuengirola, on the Spain´s Costa del Sol. Exercise, especially walking, is an integral part of my life. There are many opportunities to hiking adventures in the mountains and admire the breathtaking scenery. I also enjoy guiding other people along the great trails of Andalucia.



In addition to the surrounding areas, I have walked 4 600 km from Spain to Finland, cycled 6 700 km in Spain on a "bull hunt" and also a very unique hike 4 000 km around Spain. I have also done other hikes of several hundred kilometers.



The leading TV channel MTV3 in Finland interviewed me several times and sent stories along with many other media. When I arrived in Turku, Finland on 22.07.2022, all the media were there to welcome me, even the final destination was Helsinki. Here is the link to MTV3's post on their site and an interview that was broadcast live the same morning.



I expect to reach the media in all the countries I'll be visiting, as well as others, because there's a lot of interest in this kind of very unique hike . I will try to post all these interviews on this website.



I'm looking for an author to publish a book.



My next very unique hike, a long walk will be around the world. It will start in Madrid, Spain, in August. The route will be about 35 000 km and take about four years to complete.



During this trip, I will have time to visit about 25 countries and at least four continents. The route will be Guinness World Records compliant. Most of the time I will walk alone and carry my own equipment, but if necessary, I can also call on the help of a support team or, in the most dangerous areas, a security guard. The route will change during the walk, depending on world events and the wishes of the sponsors. A tent will only be a temporary shelter if needed and I will normally stay in hostels, hotels, Airbnb and homestays. The walk will be primarily funded by sponsors.



The walk will also have a charity theme!
