I read Newman's Worldwalk some time ago. It's a long book that covers his adventures in the US and Europe in detail, then describes landing in Morocco and being freaked out by all the Arabs who speak only Arabic, and then conveniently elides the rest of the world entirely and finishes off with him returning home. Did he really walk across Africa and Asia?
- zamadatix 4y agoBased on the path described here https://www.expertsure.com/data/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/worlds-longest-walks.png https://www.expertsure.com/data/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/w... it looks like he really didn't spend much time in those places. The Jean Beliveau walk seems more like what someone might expect.
