Karl Bushby has been walking around the world for 27 years, he left England with $500 in his pocket and went on a mission that no one else in history had ever completed: walking an unbroken path around the world.

Throughout the journey, Bushby has followed two rules: He can only walk or swim, unassisted by any form of transportation, and he cannot return home to Hull, England, until he arrives entirely on foot.

Growing up in a military family, he was inspired by his father who served in the British army. Bushby also joined the army at age 16 and served as a parachute regiment for about 12 years before taking off on his expedition.
