Walking Buddies

Our November story “The Long Walk” blew the minds of all the editors here at Hemispheres. We couldn’t believe that Karl Bushby was going to walk around the world, and we really couldn’t believe that his story wasn’t more well known. Judging by the comments at HemispheresMagazine.com, readers were similarly impressed. Linda Bella-Ruiz wrote “How interesting! I live in Barra de Navidad, next to Melaque, and would love to meet him and hear his stories!” Nathan says, “I hung out for a few days with Karl in Ecuador in 2000. Great guy. Surprised to see how far he’s made it; sorry to hear he’s having problems going forward. Good luck!” If you’re reading, Karl, we second that.

We also got a lovely endorsement of our October story “Sole Survivors,” about London’s bespoke shoemaker George Cleverley. “Mr. Glasgow runs a wonderful business. I have bought shoes from him for more than 20 years and have always found the company to offer a great service and an amazing product,” commented Jon. Sure, but are they good enough to walk around the world in?

SLOANE CROSLEY The author of How Did You Get This Number, a collection of humor essays, Crosley lives in New York City. Although she has no plans to take up knitting (“Wild and Woolly,” page 74), she is learning to play guitar. “Perhaps I can talk guerrilla knitter Magda Sayeg into knitting my guitar for me,” she says. JOSH DEAN A contributor to Outside, Rolling Stone and GQ, Dean is currently working on a book about show dogs. When it comes to football (“Head Game,” page 48), he says his fi rst love is West Virginia University, “but I’m considering also becoming a New York Jets fan.” KATE JENKINS The Brighton, England–based illustrator (“Wild and Woolly,” page 74) says, “I have been knitting and crocheting since I was fi fteen. I became so addicted to it that I went on to do a degree in fashion textiles. I changed to art a few years ago to stretch my legs.”
