Why did you take that walk? Was it a spiritual pilgrimage? Did you do it for the sheer physical challenge, for a deep and thrilling sense of accomplishment? For the anticipation of discovering something new about the world, about yourself? Near the halfway point, you could eat one of your knapsack lunches at the Great Pyramid of Giza after the triumphant last step, you might write a book about your adventure.
If you walked eight hours a day, the trip could be completed in five hundred days. It is not an officially recognized path like, for example, the Trans Canada Trail, a network of pathways that twist and turn across ten provinces and three territories, but rather an intercontinental route that can be traversed without the help of a car, train, or boat.
Google Maps has confirmed this pedestrian possibility. The longest single walkable distance on Earth is a little more than fourteen thousand miles, between Cape Town, South Africa, and the Russian port city of Magadan on the Sea of Okhotsk.
