After 28 years and 31,000 miles, 57-year-old British adventurer Karl Bushby has finally completed his journey around the world on foot, returning to his mother's home in Hull, England. Starting from Chile on November 1, 1998, he crossed four continents and 30 countries, navigating the frozen Bering Strait and swimming across the Caspian Sea and English Channel. Avoiding all motorized transport, Bushby finally reunited with his mother after 10 years apart, marking an emotional end to his extraordinary adventure.
