About Peter

My name is Peter Orosz. I live in Tartu, Estonia. My family name is pronounced O-ros — it’s the Hungarian word for “Russian”, which I am not.

I’m the author of a book and some diaries about the long walks I regularly go on.

The best way to stay up to date on my projects is by subscribing to my mailing list:

Peter Orosz holds a copy of his book “The Wilds of Shikoku”

A book about a five hundred kilometer walk across Shikoku, the smallest of Japan’s four main islands, in January and February 2019.

From a walk across northern Hokkaido, in August and September 2022, the second stage of my walk around all of Japan.

From the 500-kilometer walk across Shikoku in January and February 2019 that became the subject of The Wilds of Shikoku.

From a 4,300-kilometer walk across Japan, in the spring and summer of 2017, the first stage of my walk around all of Japan.

From a three-month journey in Iran and Iraqi Kurdistan, including an 800-kilometer walk across the Zagros Mountains, in the spring of 2016.
