That's what Google Maps told him to do
He could just look at a map and think of evolution, and will save him 7 years.

Yeah, because you'd really get the same experience, see all the things, and go to all the places just by looking at a map and thinking about it.
Just like the scouts in Civilization.
I hope he's safe along the way.
There'll be some some dangerous and fairly inhospitable areas he'll be travelling through.

Step it up, Forrest Gump.
Sounds expensive.
Great story... Last time I spoke to this guy he said he was going to cycle the journey... This was when I told him I was going to walk from Beijing to London this year. Seems like he changed his plans... Weird. I wonder if it's because I was going to walk... Well, I won't go there, that's another subject all together (I hope not), however, good luck to him. He will need it. The straits and Darien Gap are not an easy stretch by any means.

I am going to be walking 15,000km from Beijing, China, to London, England, and life-streaming my entire journey over social media so that people can follow along, and join me on my adventure. I will be bringing my childhood dream to life so the whole world can dream with me. Youy will be able to join me from your armchairs to your bedrooms, and take part in an interactive cross-cultural journey from one side of the world to the other.
My entire journey will be tracked via GPS and plotted on to Google maps. You will be able to see where I am at any given moment in time. Through the use of 3G networks, multiple wireless HD camera's and a lightweight laptop, I hope to be able to live stream some of my journey and produce a weekly web t.v series entitled, 'On foot to Freedom'.
