He set out to walk around the world. After 27 years, his quest is nearly over

A couple of Youtubers who are also round-the-world travelers whom I enjoy watching, one a Dutch motorcyclist and the other a German cyclist.

Noraly, the motorcyclist, has already traveled through South and North America, Africa, and Asia, some multiple times. Currently, I believe she is in Tajikistan about to enter Kyrgystan.

Max Roving, the cyclist, has already cycled through Afghanistan and he is currently trying to ride Africa north to south. He just completed Algeria and is about to enter Morroco.

There's also this couple, each has their own channel, who are filming their walk from England to Vietnam.

I also enjoy watching Charles, a French-Canadian cyclist currently cycling from Canada to Europe. As a geologist he regularly explains rock formations and rock types he encounters.

And they've been very safe, as far as I've heard. I think generally you can use common sense and be extremely safe all around the world.

Unfortunately there are some exceptions and I believe the highest risk area is India. A lady vlogger on motorcycle was recently gang raped there by 7 men.

With extra danger due to sharing your location online all the time.

I assume this is mitigated by delaying the uploads by a month (which you may need anyway due to sporadic internet access & not always having the time to edit videos).

Isn't there, like, the ocean? Or does he go the Karl Bushby way over the Bering Strait?

There is also AussieEspañol, who is attempting to travel from Argentina to Alaska in a tuk-tuk (an auto rickshaw) - https://www.youtube.com/@aussieespanol/videos

Followed him a bit last year. A really sweet and enthusiastic person.

There's also Ed Pratt who does round-the-world expeditions by unicycle

There is nothing so wonderful that it cannot be ruined by turning it into a youtube channel... The really brilliant people I've met doing things like this always absolutely refused to mediafy their experience. Turning your adventure into a continuous TV show is great way to kill the adventure. We're now so used to everyone running their own shopping channel we don't even notice it. Read Thesiger's books for an account of real experience. The film I urge everyone to watch is Cronenberg's Videodrome - truly the film of our times.
