Karl Bushby has become the first man to circle the globe by foot, having walked 31,000 miles in 28 years and will arrive back at his mother’s house in England this week

His trek began in Chile in 1998, when he was 29, and he’s now 57. Through it all, Bushby was guided by two self-imposed rules: No mode of transport and no stepping foot in Britain until the end of his journey.
