One man, 28 years, and a journey spanning thousands of miles across continents. Adventurer Karl Bushby recently completed his extraordinary trek from Chile to Hull which took almost three decades to finish. Could you imagine spending 28 years travelling the world?

We took to the streets of Leeds to hear what locals make of Karl's remarkable adventure, whether they'd be tempted to take on a journey of their own, and, if money and time were no object, where in the world they'd love to explore. Where would you start and end a trek of a lifetime?

00:00If I had 28 years to go on a trek, it would definitely be Route 66.
00:04I'd love that. I just think it would be so much fun.
00:06If I didn't have that much time, I'd probably do somewhere more picturesque,
00:11like to France starting from the east there, but definitely Route 66.
00:15I'd definitely go, like, Japan, you know what I'm saying?
00:17I know a lot of people like to go to Japan.
00:21The food's really good, I've heard.
00:22Personally, I couldn't spend 28 years travelling.
00:25That would be a little insane.
00:26I'd need to get my money up in 28 years, you know what I'm saying?
00:29But, you know, people got free time, they can live the life out of their own.
00:32I am a family man.
00:34I'm struggling, and it's been two months away from my family.
00:37I don't think I could do 28 years.
00:39But if I was, I would love to do, like, Southeast Asia.
00:43Such a diverse culture.
00:45Each country's different.
00:47And I think you could do 28 plus another 40 years,
00:51and you would still be busy doing stuff there.
00:53I think my bucket list is definitely exploring more of America,
00:58100%.
00:59I'd love to do, like, San Francisco, Las Vegas,
01:03like, California, all that area, Florida and New York.
01:07I've done New York before, but I'd love to go back there.
01:10I definitely want to go to Australia and New Zealand as well.
01:14And mainland Europe, I've only kind of been in, like, the coast,
01:17all areas, but I'd love to go see more of, like, the centre of it.
01:20If I were to go anywhere, I'd love to go, like, from the north of the earth
01:24all the way down to the south to just straight down
01:27and then just visit all the countries along the way.
