[Out of Eden Walk @outofedenwalk]

“It sort of comes with the territory of crossing the world on foot. You can’t really skim over a country, or a culture, or a society. It really forces me to slow down my observations and to absorb the China that I’m seeing at a very slow, immersive, nuanced level.” —@PaulSalopek

.@NatGeo explorer @PaulSalopek is halfway through his "Out of Eden Walk" across the globe.

He is in China now, with many insights on a side of the country we don't often see, and the joys and perils of migration.
