The ultimate world-backpacking trip.

[Turbinator]

Anyone here like to go on a global backpacking trip on the road of the human migration?

This seems like a super fascinating way to travel around Earth, retracing the footsteps that our Human species has taken over a course of 250,000 years. Following the path your super-great relatives took, and the road your super-distant cousins would take.

That would be an epic trip, and if I didn't have a family to take care of I'd go in a second

What he said, except replace 'have a family to take care of' with 'weren't such a scrawny nerd.'

Lol, don't worry Izack. When you get to my age, you won't be scrawny anymore :lol:

At first I looked at that map, didn't recognize the perspective and thought "hey that isn't the whole world, that's just some little island somewhere!" Then I looked again and felt really dumb.

My goal first is to take a roadtrip around the entire US, just driving wherever I wanna for like a month. (The US Interstate system has been like my second home since I was a baby.) Then I'd like to roadtrip around Europe, if possible, though of course that's fairly more unattainable.

I've never tried hiking, so I can't say I'd like to try this (or that I wouldn't), though the idea of following the most ancient road intrigues me a lot.

...retracing the footsteps that our Human species has taken over a course of 250,000 years...

Oh please...

Oh please...

Is 6,000 years better?

About 100'000 years into the trip, can I borrow a Colonial Raptor and take a shortcut to Central Park?
