Here's someone I never saw /out/ discussing... Lillian Alling. Long story made short: in the 1920s, russian girl moves to NYC to work but hates it. Since she's poor she decides to walk home to siberia. Goes to public library and charts the path she will take and then starts walking. She became newsworthy by the time she reached British Columbia and is known to have made it to the Bering Sea where by a lesser known account she apparently arranged passage across to russia with natives. She never accepted a ride and did all this solo with the exception of being given a dog for company for part of the journey. My vote for queen of /out/.
