The Daily Mail reports that the boy wasn't on his own for the journey, his dad, Phil, came along with him. They slept under the stars as they made the trek, and after quarantining for two weeks were able to see grandma.
In the process, the pair also raised around $18,000 for a charity called Refugee Education Across Conflicts Trust.
