Then, in 2011, after receiving funding, Carl again walked on the icy rivers of the tundra regions of Aintree in Russia. He had reached the center of Siberia. Here, even a small mistake could have cost Carl his life, but he kept walking, walking for three months every year, and waiting for the remaining nine months for a visa.
In 2013, Carl became very excited when he learned that Russia had banned him for five years.But the man was not going to stop. Instead of staging a sit-in somewhere, Carl adopted a unique method to record the protest.He walked 4,800 kilometers from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. and protested outside the Russian Embassy. This journey alone was a huge record for him. When the media reported on this unique protest, the Russian authorities withdrew the five-year ban imposed on him in 2014. Now, once again, he got a Russian visa and reached his same GPS point in Siberia where he had left off.After leaving Russia, Carl has now reached Mongolia, where he crossed the Gobi Desert, which is spread over 1130 kilometers. Then he passed through Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan via China,
but the Iranian visa blocked his path once again. This was the era of the pandemic, and Carl's journey was stopped for a long time in Turkmenistan. When the Iranian visa was still not approved, in 2022, Carl made a life-threatening plan. He thought that if he could not go to Iran, he could definitely swim across the Caspian Sea and reach Azerbaijan. For this purpose, he made a small boat, not for himself, but to load his luggage.He crossed the 288-kilometer Gaspian Sea in 31 days.
He swam for six hours every day, three hours in the morning and three hours in the evening. Then he climbed into the same kayak and slept at night. The strong waves tried hard to block his path, but Carl did not give up. He said, "I don't like swimming, but it was necessary to do it." Finally, he reached Azerbaijan and started walking again from there. In 2025, Carl entered Turkey from Azerbaijan. Now he had become so famous that people in every village invited him to their homes. Speaking to the BBC, Carl said that he would never forget the hospitality of the Turks.In Istanbul, he had to cross the Bosphorus Strait to enter Europe. Only vehicles are allowed on the Bosphorus Bridge, but the authorities only gave Carl permission to walk on it, and thus he crossed the bridge on foot and officially entered Europe. On this occasion, he said that when I left, Tony Player was the Prime Minister in the UK. Now there are five new Prime Ministers in Britain. I think that country will also be new when I go home.
After 27 years of unparalleled effort, Carl Bushby now has the last 3,000 kilometers left. His target is to reach the UK via Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Germany and France. But now another big problem is coming for Carl and that is the English Channel, the Channel Tunnel that connects the UK and France. Walking on the Channel Tunnel is also strictly prohibited because high-speed trains pass through there, the heat is excessive and there is a lack of oxygen. But there is another way, the Service Tunnel.There are a total of three tunnels in the Channel Tunnel, two for trains and one for emergencies, which is called the service tunnel. However, Carl will have to take special permission to use this tunnel on foot.
It is expected that Carl Bushby will take the last step of the Goliath expedition in his hometown in 2026 and by that time
he will have traveled 58,000 kilometers, which is 1.5 times the circumference of the Earth. Carl's expedition shows that man creates his own limits, but in reality he has no limits. He can do whatever he wants. Now, when the next time you feel that life has stopped, remember this: Carl Bushby is still walking. Indeed, the world is very big, but it can be small in front of the will of a person.Carl once said that life doesn't stop, it just changes direction.So don't stop in life, just keep moving forward, success will kiss your feet, just like Carl Busby.
