British Adventurer Completes 28-Year, 31,000-Mile Walk Around the World
British adventurer Karl Bushby completed a nearly 50,000-kilometre (31,000-mile) journey on foot over 28 years, returning to his hometown of Hull, England. Starting in 1998 from southern Chile, the former paratrooper crossed four continents without using motorised transport, facing challenges like visa issues, dangerous terrains, and pandemic delays. His expedition included crossing the Bering Strait and swimming the Caspian Sea and English Channel. Hundreds welcomed him home, where he reunited with family after an extraordinary test of endurance and determination.
