Current status of a person crossing the earth on foot.jpg

Walking from the end of the earth back home to England

Karl Bushby

It started in Chile in 1998.

This person had three major challenges.

The Darien Gap in South America

-To the border between Colombia and Panama

One of the worst places on earth –

After passing through, he was caught by the Panamanian police.

Is it illegal border crossing?

Released after 18 days

But this was the weakest crisis.

North America was easy

2006 Alaska-Russia

Crossing the Bering Strait when it was frozen

He crossed over and was captured in Russia.

Is it illegal entry?

Although I was released

In Russia, due to visa issues, I could only stay in Russia for 90 days out of every 180 days.

Because of the Siberian climate, walking was only possible in winter when the ground was frozen.

After leaving Russia, once your visa is issued, you return to your original location and start walking again.

Because I didn’t have any donations, I couldn’t go there all the time and stayed in North America for a long time.

It took 11 years to traverse the distance of less than 2 years in Siberia.

Crossing the Bering Strait in 2006

Arrived in Mongolia in 2017

After that, he was stranded in Central Asia due to the coronavirus.

This isn’t even a crisis anymore

The third crisis is the Caspian Sea coast of Kazakhstan.

If you go north of the Caspian Sea, you have to pass through fucking Russia again.

If you go south of the Caspian Sea, you will have to pass through Iran in the 2020s, where security has been ruined.

So I swam across.

Sleep on a support vessel

Swim during the day

I crossed it like that in the winter of 2024

With the latest information

At the end of September 2025

Arrived in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.

Expected to return home in 2026
