In 1998, Karl Bushby left Punta Arenas, Chile, with one goal—to walk an unbroken path back to his home in Hull, England. No planes, no cars, no shortcuts. Just his feet and sheer determination.
Now, 27 years later, he’s nearly there.
Karl has walked over 47,000 km through 25 countries, crossed the Bering Strait on foot, survived the Darien Gap, swam the Caspian Sea, and faced more red tape, detentions and setbacks than most could even imagine. Yet he’s kept going, never flying home, never quitting.
His journey, called the Goliath Expedition, is due to finish in 2026, completing what might be the longest continuous walk in human history.
Absolutely mind-blowing.
If you ever need proof of what a single human being can endure, overcome and accomplish—Karl is it.
