Mentally ill man missing since 2012 found wandering in the Amazon 5,000 miles from home

‘Anton Pilipa, a 39-year-old Canadian man from Vancouver, has been found wandering in the Amazon after missing since 2012.
It has been determined that he walked, hitchhiked, and hid on the back of trucks on his journey of more than 5,000 miles that stretched from Vancouver, Canada, to Manaus, Brazil. He claims to have survived by begging and foraging for food or dumpster diving when necessary. He slept out in the open.
One of the most amazing aspects of his journey is the fact that though he was found without a passport or identification of any kind, he somehow managed to pass through 10 borders, including in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia, and Panama. He was only ever prevented entry in Argentina, which is why he turned back and re-entered Brazil, where he was finally found. Incidents like these certainly shed light on why President Trump feels the need to beef up border security.’
