Have you ever asked yourself the question of how far you could walk on Earth, without having to take a boat or a plane? From the Real Life Lore YouTube channel, its creator Joseph Pisenti has the answer: 23,000 kilometers in 1,153 days. This marathon walking tour you would have to do from Cape Town (South Africa) to Magadan, the eastern tip of Siberia.

A person in good physical shape, walking at a normal pace and taking into account the average rest, food and toilet times, would need more than three years, as long as they were able to walk 20 kilometers per day in 6-8 hours, without rest for a single day. 20 kilometers a day doesn't seem like a big deal. It really is more or less what the pilgrims of the Camino de Santiago do daily. However, they do not have to walk more than 1,000 days, nor do they have to go through dangerous places.

During the course of this route for three years you will ascend a total of 123 kilometers, which is equivalent to climbing Mount Everest about 14 times. You'll have to travel through 17 countries, including South Sudan, Egypt, and Syria, so it wouldn't be such a safe walk through deserts, malaria, warring cities, and rainforests with wild animals. “No one in history has managed to complete this achievement in real life. People have climbed the highest mountain on Earth, sunk into the deepest part of the ocean and even landed on the moon, but no one has managed to make the longest possible journey just by touching the mainland ”, explains the author of the video.

Likewise, it will be essential to carry a wide variety of equipment in your backpack when visiting such different meteorological places. Do you dare to do this crazy trip?
