Karl Bushby has been walking across the world for 27 years. On Nov. 1, 1998, he set off from Punta Arenas in Chile. Nearly three decades later, he is back in Europe and on the final leg of his incredible journey. With just months to go, he has hit a logistical roadblock — crossing the English Channel.<\/p>\n

When he set out on his journey, he established two rules for himself: He would only return home when the walk was complete, and he would use no form of transportation. Since then, he has crossed the Darien Gap between Colombia and Panama and the Bering Strait to Siberia. He then spent years trying to cross Russia before heading into Mongolia, China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, he hit a huge milestone. He crossed Istanbul’s Bosphorus Bridge, officially crossing back into Europe<\/a>. Since August, he has walked across Turkey and Bulgaria, and is now picking his way across Romania, but has hit a logistical snag.<\/p>\n
