By Hacer Ozturk

ORDU, Turkey (AA) - In the midst of a journey to windsurf around Europe, a Norwegian adventurer stopped off for a rest on Thursday in Turkey’s Black Sea region.

In the town of Unye, Ordu, on Turkey’s northern Black Sea coast, Jonathan Dunnett told Anadolu Agency he started his trip in 2017 to deliver a message of peace and friendship to the whole world.

"After arriving, I realized Unye was a friendly place and I had things to do. I decided to stay one more day as the wind wasn’t good enough. I met plenty of people here," he said.

He said he wanted to reach Russia and Abkhazia, Georgia, on the Black Sea’s eastern coast, then return to Norway by bicycle.
