He just wrapped a 28-year walk around the world | The Moment

Karl Bushby, a British adventurer, completed his 28-year journey on November 3, 2026, walking approximately 31,000 miles (50,000 kilometers) around the world, starting from Punta Arenas, Chile. He walked through four continents including South America, North America, Asia, and Europe, adhering to strict rules of not using any form of transportation other than his feet and not returning home until he completed his journey. Bushby arrived back in his hometown of Hull, England, where he was greeted by his family, including a son he hasn't seen since the start of his adventure and a granddaughter he has never met before. His journey faced numerous challenges such as crossing dangerous jungles, deserts, and even encountering polar bears and guerrilla wars. Upon returning home, Bushby expressed feelings of uncertainty about what lies ahead after dedicating almost three decades to this singular endeavor.
