Carl Buschby completed his 28-year journey around the world
from the tip of Chile back home to Hull in England.
It's been a week of lasts,
the last day in the tent, last day on the road.
I had always wanted to walk with him, ever since I met him.
I walked across Germany to the tip,
to the edge of Belgium, last three days.
I really enjoyed seeing, was Carl slowing down?
It's the end, around the corner.
It didn't seem real that it was actually going to finish.
I started getting a little teared up.
He's really getting home.
It's really happening.
I didn't expect that many people to be there.
Having known him for so long
and seeing the difficulties, too, along the way,
to see the end come into fruition was really touching.
When he finally sees his mom...
Where have I been?
That was just beautiful.
The whole thing became surreal.
What a question. Where have you been? How do you explain that?
So he was initially going to spend about 10 years on the road.
He got held up at gunpoint in Mexico,
got detained by Russian authorities,
went through COVID, the financial crisis.
He, what a way to see the world and what a lot to give up.
He just met his 12-year-old granddaughter for the first time.
