After 13 years and 46,000 miles the British traveler Jason Lewis finished the round-the-world journey
using human power alone. He crossed five continents, two oceans and a sea to become the first peson to
go around the globe only depending on himself and using his own power. He finally returned to the UK on
Saturday, crossing the Greenwich Meridian Line (格林威治子午线), in his specially-designed, 8-meter-long,
pedal-powered (脚蹬动力的) boat, "Moksha". It was the same place where his journey began on July, 1994
when he was just 26 years old.
Jason used many kinds of transport methods during his great joumey,such as riding, swimming, boating,
and skating. His journey took him west from Britain to the USA and then to Australia, Asia, and Africa before
returning to Europe from the east.
The journey was not without dangers: in Colorado Jason was knocked down by a truck whose driver had
drunk a lot of wine while riding at the side of the road. He spend six weeks in hospital and nearly lost one of
his legs. After the accident, Jason was robbed (抢劫) and beaten several times on his journey, sent to prison
(监狱) by the Australian army that considered him to be a spy, and ran after by a lion in Egypt. But on the
way he raised money to help the poor children around the world. He also developed an education program for
schoolchildren while he was on his journey.
Next the world traveller may have a rest for a while. "I've seen enough deserts. I've climbed beautiful
green hills. I have slept in the open air in Australia and sat by the fire drinking a bottle of beer," said Jason.
"but I do miss our British. It's really nice to be with the people who are always smiling to each other."
