Karl Bushby, un británico que se ha propuesto dar la vuelta al mundo a pie, está a punto de terminar la odisea 27 años después de haberla iniciado. Informa Ramy Inocencio, de CBS News.

Carl Bushby began his non-stop walk across the world in 1998 and has since covered approximately 30,000 miles, traveling through the Americas, Russia, Asia, and now Europe. Along the way, he has encountered both physical dangers, such as crossing the Darien Gap and the Bering Strait, and emotional hardships, including the loss of relationships and missing family events.

Bushby has adapted to technological changes during his journey and has recently gained a large following on social media. With about 2,000 miles left, he is expected to finish his journey in England and plans to dedicate himself to teaching STEM subjects in the future.

Un hombre se prepara para dar la vuelta al mundo en 27 años

Desde que Carl Bushby empezó a caminar sin parar por el planeta en 1998, el mundo ha cambiado. Pero la humanidad, como él dice, no lo ha hecho, desde sus primeros días de camino en Chile. CARL BUSHBY, Ciclista Chileno, Ciclista del Año 2017 Estos indígenas me trajeron, me sentaron y me pusieron platos de comida delante de mí. té, muchas gracias y se fueron. En estos 27 años sólo he encontrado lo mejor, lo cual ha sido extraordinario. En ese tiempo, Bushby ha caminado unas 30.000 millas. Desde los 29 años, ha marcado una generación de cumpleaños en el camino, y cumplió 56 este año, recorriendo las Américas, atravesando EE.UU. hasta Rusia, luego Asia y ahora Europa. ¿Por qué? Nuestra vida es corta y siempre he querido vivirla al máximo en la medida de lo posible. Bushby ha vivido más de lo que la mayoría de nosotros nos atreveríamos a vivir. Una de las cosas más aterradoras ocurrió al principio. En el año 2000, cruzó el peligroso Darien Gap, la única vía para pasar de Sur a Centro América. Por el medio de una zona de guerra, y hay toda una capa por encima de eso de cárteles y plantaciones, y luego una jungla muy, muy dura. Más tarde atravesó el estrecho de Bering, desde Alaska hasta Siberia, convirtiéndose en el primer británico en hacerlo, y tuvo un encuentro con un oso polar. Estás en un mundo muy serio que te matará en 20 minutos si metes la pata. Impedido de atravesar Rusia o Irán, cruzó a nado el mar Caspio, la primera persona en hacerlo, casi 200 millas en un mes. Y ahora, para volver a casa, puede que tenga que nadar de nuevo. El Canal de la Mancha desde Francia. Nadar es una mierda, tío. Simplemente apesta. No soy nadador. No me gusta. Pero dejando a un lado los retos, Bushby dice que también hubo retos emocionales. Me enamoré dos veces, perdí a las dos, las circunstancias, ya sabes, es difícil hacer eso en el camino como este. ¿Hubo algún momento con la familia o amigos cercanos en el que pensaste, sabes qué, ¿Tengo que volver? Así que se entendió que si alguno de ellos moría, yo no estaría allí en su funeral, simple como eso. También fueron necesarias adaptaciones tecnológicas. En 2013, compró su primer dispositivo con pantalla táctil. Al principio, estás bastante aislado. Ahora no podrías esconderte aunque lo intentaras. Volvemos a la carretera. Carl comenzó su TikTok justo este verano y tiene más de 350.000 seguidores como él golpea su recta final. ¿Cómo se siente? Incómodo. Darse cuenta de que, ya sabes, es como cualquier persona que ha tenido una carrera de toda la vida y es el momento de retirarse. ¿Cuál es la lección que quieres compartir? No tengas miedo. Levántate del sofá. Levántate de la cama. Hazlo realidad. Ese primer paso te abrirá un mundo de posibilidades y oportunidades, y no tengas miedo. Y Carl está casi en casa, sólo unos, bueno, sólo unos 2.000 kilómetros más hasta que él llegue aquí a Inglaterra a finales del año que viene, Michael. Su segunda pasión, me dijo, es STEM, enseñar ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas a más gente, y dijo que se ve a sí mismo haciendo que para el resto de su ya muy vida plena. Yo diría que si le ves en la carretera, le saludes, quizá le invites a un café para que siga yendo.
