He has been on his way home for 27 years. He set himself two rules: first, he can´t use any form of transport to advance; second, he can´t go home until arriving on foot. From the journey of more than 50,000 kilometers (from Chile to Great Britain), he has the final two thousand left — he has already reached Hungary. The walking adventurer Karl Bushby is expected to arrive in his hometown of Hull next autumn. So far, he has traveled on foot through 25 countries, passing through the harshest conditions — war zones, deserts, jungles, and frozen seas (becoming the first person to cross the Bering Strait on foot from Alaska to Russia). He even became the first to swim across the Caspian Sea. And he overcame several political hurdles as well. “Yes. It was worth it. Of course. Travel is one of the best learning experiences you'll ever have. I'm always trying to convince people that they need to travel more, see the world. See how the rest of the world lives. Understand these environments. You have to go and see how the rest of humanity manages to survive. I can guarantee you, if you live in the United States or Europe and you see the other way the rest of the world gets by, you'll stop whining. That's the one thing you'll stop doing. You'll appreciate things more.” Says Bushby, English ex-paratrooper. Watch the full episode: www.hydeparkcivilization.com
