Hey WhiteBlaze!
During my thruhike this year, I fell in love with long distance hiking and can't wait to get back on the trail. In the hopes of doing so, I'm applying for a travel grant from my college (I'm a current senior and will graduate this year) which would allow me to travel in whatever manner I would like for one year after I graduate. The only caveat is that I NEED to stay out of the US for 365 days, or else forfeit the grant. SO I was hoping you all could help me out by giving me some leads on great international long trails worth hiking. I need a whole year's worth! The focus of my proposal grant would be to learn about international long distance hiking cultures and/or an examination of pilgrimages, be they formal, or the kind of pilgrimage a lot of people find in the AT, so popular trails or those with a pilgrimage component would be especially appreciated. But I'd also like to hear about any obscure or lesser known trails, especially if you have personal experience hiking them.
Thanks in advance!

TL;DR: Tell me about some awesome long distance trails that are outside of the US!
