Homecoming after 28 years

British explorer Karl Bushby returns to his hometown of Hull after completing a 28-year journey across four continents.

“they say it takes a village. in this case, it took a world.”

28 years of travel

Bushby covered 50,000 kilometres traversing four continents, facing geopolitical obstacles rather than mythical challenges.

Geopolitical challenges

Bushby described bureaucratic hurdles and international negotiations as more significant obstacles than giant Cyclops.

“not so many giant cyclops, but giant bureaucratic problems and hurdles to overcome”

Key journeys

Bushby crossed the frozen Bering Strait, swam the Caspian Sea, and crossed the English Channel.

Human connection

Bushby emphasized kindness from strangers, community support, and government assistance during his travels.

Identity shift

After nearly three decades abroad, Bushby says Great Britain feels like a new country transformed by time.
