Karl Bushby arrived in Hull, England, on Monday after an extraordinary 28-year journey on foot across four continents. The 31,000-mile trek, which he began in 1998 in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, took him through South America, Central America, North America, and Europe. Bushby, now 62, faced numerous challenges including border closures, injuries, and geopolitical conflicts, but never gave up on his goal of walking to his mother’s home.
His journey, documented in his book "Walking the World," has inspired many around the globe. Upon arrival, he was greeted by family and fans, marking the emotional end of one of the longest pedestrian journeys ever attempted.
