For Union College Freshman, Michael Rohm, a walk around campus is nothing compared to what he went through to get here.
"I just wanted to experience something unique, something I've never really heard of anyone doing," said Michael Rohm.
Rohm walked to Lincoln from Oregon. His 55 day hike took him across 5 states.
Rohm only carried what could fit in his backpack and lived on peanut butter and honey sandwiches.
"It's just a mixture of creativity and desperation," said Rohm.
Rohm hit a big mile marker on the road, his 20th birthday.
"I think I bought myself a pint of strawberries to celebrate and that's about it," he said.
He also met some people who helped him out along the way.
Like the leader of a Utah boyscout troop who invited him to camp with the troop for a night.
"I found a really cool spot to camp and kind of swim around and relax and then he said, well we have tacos tonight. And that's what sold it for me because living off of peanut butter and honey. Food is impossible to resist."
Rohm was also given a bike that he rode from Colorado to Lincoln.
Rohm said 9 months he spent in Africa building churches, schools and an orphanage influenced his trip
"Being overseas in Africa, I developed a stronger sense of adventure as well as a stronger awareness to the needs of people," he said.
As for Rohm's next journey, he's hitting the books to study international rescue and relief.
