Description
For this episode we embark on a story of ancient human migration with Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and National Geographic fellow, Paul Salopek. Paul is currently on year nine of his 24,000-mile foot-journey tracing the ancient human migration from Africa across the globe. He started in January 2013 in Ethiopia and is making his way to the southern tip of South America. This odyssey, as it is commonly referred to, is Out of Eden Walk.
In late 2021, Mei joined Paul in Yunnan for a first-hand experience of what day-to-day on the ground with Out of Eden Walk looks like. Paul has since made his way to Sichuan where he is continuing the traverse.
