- Description: Angela Maxwell is an American adventurer, speaker and expedition organiser based in Bend, Oregon. On 2 May 2014, having saved $12,000 and with no prior long-distance hiking experience, she departed Bend pulling a three-wheeled cart she named "Athena" and began a solo pedestrian circumnavigation of the world. Her route covered Australia, Vietnam, Mongolia, Central Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States, traversing four continents and 14 countries. In Mongolia in 2015, she was sexually assaulted in her tent; she continued walking the following day and subsequently became an advocate for women's safety in travel, raising over $20,000 for Her Future Coalition. Both her father and stepfather died during the journey. She completed her walk in December 2020, covering approximately 32,000 km (20,000 miles) in six and a half years. In 2024 she joined explorer Karl Bushby for a 1,600 km (1,000 miles) crossing of the Kyzylkum Desert from Bukhara, Uzbekistan, to the Caspian Sea, where the two, along with two professional Azerbaijani swimmers, became the first people to swim across the Caspian Sea unsupported
