The story of 62-year-old Californian, he had been in this country more than 60 times and have toured its length and breadth.

But this time his journey is special: the American arrived with his toy – a plush fish Dory from the animated film “finding Nemo”.

Once Tom retired, he began traveling with the toy. He has no wife, no children. The course of the trip, Chapman described on his page in Facebook.

According to Tom, the fish helps him to establish contacts with the people he meets in his travels. “She is always happy, friendly to all and very curious,” describes his fellow traveler Tom. He bought plush Dory to make fun of a friend, who’s always forgotten, like a cartoon character. But then, says the traveler, “the toy began to live my life.”
