National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek is on a years-long journey around the world, mostly on foot, called the Out of Eden Walk. He recently made a stop in the remote Alaskan village of Kake, population: 543. Many people who live in Kake, and villages like it, come from urban settings seeking what Paul calls a "geographical cure" to the complications of modern life. He speaks to The World's Host Aaron Schachter about how that pans out.
