For those lacking a hobby and having a bit of time on their hands... Walk from South Africa to Magadan - the site of a Soviet era Siberian gulag. Maybe they'll open up cells, make it a hostel, and hire re-enactors to give you the full-on Stalinist experience.
Actually - The Six Months in Magadan experience should be a graduation requirement for all university political science and economics majors.
Here's some background on the excursion:
The longest road in the world that a person can walk on. It extends from Cape Town in South Africa to Magadan in Russia. It is considered the longest and most dangerous road that passes through 16 countries, with a length of 22 thousand kilometers suitable for walking.
If we assume that you will walk on this road without stopping, then you will need 4492 hours or 187 days of walking without stopping. But if at a normal rate and you will walk for only 8 hours a day, you will need 562 days to cross that road and many adventurers may want to go through this experience. In addition to the long period of time required to complete the walk, it needs tremendous physical ability, equivalent to the expense of climbing and descending Mount Everest approximately 13 times, in addition to high experience and skill in camping and ways of coexistence and survival because the adventurer will pass almost all the seasons and weather conditions during the trip.
