Out of Eden Walk Special
A Wakhi farmer in the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan totes nearly a hundred pounds of hay about two miles to his house. Join the journey at outofedenwalk.org.
National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek began an epic walk in early 2013, tracing the first steps of human migration out of Africa some 60,000 years ago. The World brings you some of his stories and experiences in this Out of Eden Walk special — starting in Ethiopia and walking through the Holy Lands, Uzbekistan and India, to mention a few. He even shares some of the foods he’s eaten along the way to power his walk.
