A British man has completed an amazing 28-year walk the world. Former soldier Karl Bushby, 57, arrived home the city of Hull in England Monday. He started his adventure in November 1998 Chile, South America. His plan was to walk all the way home using cars, boats, buses, trains, or airplanes. During his journey, he travelled 58,000 kilometres 29 countries. He crossed frozen seas, deserts, mountains, and jungles. He also faced many dangers. These included encountering polar bears and kidnappers, and spending time a Russian prison. His journey was expected to take 12 years. However, problems money, visas, and borders made his trip a lot longer.
Thousands people welcomed Mr Bushby home. He was very happy to finally finish his journey. His mother was waiting outside his childhood home to greet him. Bushby joked: "Sorry to keep you waiting." He also told the cheering crowd that many people the world had helped him get home. He said he could not have done it alone. Britain's Prime Minister congratulated him his achievement. He praised Bushby's determination and belief himself. Bushby told the Guardian newspaper that he wasn't so interested walking. He said: "It's boring as hell." That didn't stop him crossing four continents. A documentary will be made Bushby's adventure called "Walk of Life".
