Man Walks 21,000 miles – WHY?! The story of the Out of Eden Walk
Paul Salopek was an ordinary writer and journalist from the United States. However, two things set him apart from others: he was interested in walking the pathways of the first humans who migrated out of Africa in the Stone Age. The second thing is that he actually did it.
Paul planned to document every single step of the way through blogs, social media, etc. And he has. He is in year 6/10 of his journey, and has walked about half of the 21,000 miles.
Paul has seen cultures across Africa, and gotten to meet thousands of people along his journey. They have given him knowledge, advice, and little pieces of culture along the way. He, in return, has told their stories.
Paul’s walk is funded by donations from National Geographic, and random donations from every-day people. His walk allows us to get more information on the toll it took on people who made the great migration, as well as documentation of the world across the continent Africa.

Even though I have did this myself. You have made it really fun to reread again. You did a good job. It was detailed greatly and pleasing to look at.
