Goliath Expedition

Talk about a massive travel project. Well, it even has a name to match its scale: It's called the Goliath Expedition.

The Goliath Expedition is  Karl Bushby's 36,000 mile gargantuan trek around the world. A monster, nay, Goliath effort to basically walk around the world. He began in the Chilean town of Punta Arenas, and started hoofing it through all of South America, Central and North America, then crossing from Alaska into Siberia using the frozen Arctic waters of the Chukchi Sea (north of the Bering Straits) as a land bridge (ah, land bridge...hasn't someone thought of that before???). He then heads across Europe through Siberia to Western Europe. Again, all on foot.

Pretty impressive. You can follow the whole exploit at Karl's site: the Goliath Expedition.
