British travel blogger and filmmaker,
Graham Hughes wrapped up his global
odyssey this past December and recently
released a four-minute video of him in
each country. It’s kind of like a video on
steroids.
In between shooting one-second videos,
Hughes went on some wild adventures.
This is how he described them on
Facebook:
“I’ve fed the crocs in Australia, hunted
the dragons of Komodo, befriended the
orangutans in Borneo, played with the
lemurs in Madagascar, washed the
elephants in India and eaten live octopus
in South Korea.”
Hughes made it out alive — and earned
some major street cred along the way. In
addition to the Guinness World Records
recognizing him for “Most Countries
Visited in One Year by Scheduled Ground
Transport,” Hughes spent a week in a
Congolese prison, was arrested sneaking
into Russia and joined a Bwiti tribe in
Gabon. He even tiptoed into North Korea,
which is not exactly a popular tourist
destination.
Also, in case you didn’t hear, there’s a
new country in the world, South Sudan.
And yes, he made it there, too.
It took Hughes 1,426 days to cover
160,000 miles.
As you can imagine, a trip like this could
really leave a guy broke. But he kept his
costs under $100 per day, collected
donations on his website and taped
segments for National Geographic’s
Adventure Channel, “Graham’s World.”
Hughes even raised money for WaterAid,
a charity that brings clean water to some
of the most impoverished nations in the
world.
