Over the past 11 years, journeying through 21 countries, National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek has covered a lot of ground — over 14,000 miles, which he documents in a project called Out of Eden Walk. His route began in East Africa and will end once he reaches the southern tip of South America. Since Salopek travels by foot, he is able to get off the beaten path and relish in the luxury of the unexpected. He’s seen things that most people may miss when traveling by car, plane or railway.

Pierwsi władcy tej dynastii nie byli… Chińczykami. Fot. Underwood and UnderwoodW towarzystwie lokalnych piechurów wędrowałem po Chinach przez ponad dwa lata. Pokonawszy ponad 6000 kilometrów, odwiedziłem megamiasta i plantacje czosnku. Brzmi monotonnie? Może nawet trochę nudno? Nie jest. Porzucając szklane sześciany centrów handlowych w Pekinie, w ciągu jednego dnia wędrówki przemierzamy stulecia: wkraczamy w okres dynastii Qing. Za szóstą obwodnicą stolicy wzdłuż wiejskich dróg drżą topole białe.

For going on three years now, I've been walking across China. When done, I'll have logged some 4,200 miles. Starting in the southwest in October 2021 and rambling northeast, I’ve roughly followed an imaginary geographical divide called the Hu Line, which separates China’s lusher, densely populated east from its more arid and roomier west. I haven’t spotted too many motorized Chinese out stomping my trails. In a nation of 1.4 billion, this felt odd sometimes, to claim horizons for myself.
