Walking AROUND THE WORLD since 1998: Karl Bushby on his UNBELIEVABLE journey that includes the Bering Strait and Darién Gap [#21]

Karl Bushby is a former paratrooper, author, and current legend of exploration. In 1998, he left his home in the UK to begin the epic Goliath Expedition.

He can only travel on foot, no transport.  2. He won't return home to the UK, until he arrives there on foot, as planned.  During his already 30,000+ mile stroll, he's crossed the Bering Strait on foot, and the Darien Gap, two amazing yet deadly experiences that we discuss in detail.  Please go to the episode page on YouTube for more external links mentioned: https://youtu.be/QZNXWoVVOWI 🕓TIMESTAMPS:  [00:40] Karl's (military) background [15:30] Paratroopers [18:12] Deciding to walk around the world + planning it [28:11] Invited by the PM to dinner with the Royals [30:09] The beginning of the walk [35:44] Being woken up by armed people wearing ski masks [39:09] The Darién Gap - Karl's hardest challenge?
