33-year-old Ventsislav Iliev from Shumen has started a tour to the holy places in Europe. Iliev will travel some 13,000 kilometers on foot, passing through the Vatican, Santiago de Compostela and reaching the Arctic Circle.

The traveler had been successfully cycling all over Europe and Mexico, but his goal this time is to go on the pilgrimage tour in the way our ancestors did.

Ventsislav Iliev started his journey with 13 kilograms of luggage, which includes warm clothes, a tent, food for a few days and small amount of cash. He hopes to pass 25 kilometer each day.
