27 Years to Walk Around the World 😱 The Longest Distance in History🚶‍♂️

Karl Bushby has been walking for 27 years to become the only person in history to circle the planet entirely on foot. His journey began in 1998 in Chile 🇨🇱 with one rule: no transport of any kind ❌🚗✈️ He crossed the vast landscapes of South America, survived the deadly Darién Gap ⚔️ with its smugglers and wild jungle, and then trekked through Central and North America 🇲🇽🇺🇸 step by step. He even braved the frozen Bering Strait ❄️ with French traveler Dimitri Kieffer, drifting 80 km off course but still making history. In Russia, strict visa rules and brutal Siberian winters dropping to −50°C turned his progress into an exhausting 11-year challenge. Later, when blocked by the Caspian Sea 🌊 with no way around, Karl and Angela Maxwell 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️ swam across it in 40 days, becoming the only people ever to achieve such a crossing. After nearly three decades, 27 countries, and 47,000 km through jungles, deserts, mountains and icy wastelands, Karl is now walking across Europe 🇪🇺 and is expected to finally return home 🏠 by 2026.
