I've met a couple people who have done it, coincidently (or not) they were all Australians. There is no group of people on this earth who like to travel like the Australians do, I really don't know why...
But the scariest backpacking trip I've ever heard of was in Africa. This guy who used to work for my company, he was fired for being too crazy and a little insane, booked a flight into Cape Town and out of Cairo. He hitchhiked in between. There were times he was riding in the back of a chicken transport truck, filled with chickens, and others where he was hanging out w/ rebels putting on their camo and posing with them for pictures while he's holding their AK47s. There's a lot of scary shit in between Cape Town and Cairo and this guy is one crazy motherfucker.
