‘It’s been a while’: hero’s welcome for UK man after 28-year walk across the world
(www.theguardian.com)
I think experiencing so much of the earth in such a natural way as walking is really a fantastic expression of the experience of being human. There is a piece in all of us that longs to see the unseen, to journey somewhere far off.
That all said dude took on a challenge to not come back to his home country for what was meant to be 12 but ended up being 28 years and dude had an 8-yo kid at the time.
Seems kinda fucked,no? He coulda taken trips home. Which isn't to say I know anything about the situation. Maybe it was best for all. 🤷 Kid was there for when he got home so.
