   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHe told the BBC about fifteen. He kept retreating to Mexico between stints, because costs there are low. He'd planned on twelve years total.

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's about thirty-one thousand miles, twenty-nine countries, and he'll finish with American walker Angela Maxwell. Next is the Channel Tunnel, which hasn't cleared him yet.
