Meet The Man Who Has Visited Every Country In The World Without Flying A Plane by NessaFresh(f): 7:00pm On Aug 07, 2013
British adventurer Graham Hughes has managed
to visit all 201 UN recognised countries without
travelling by plane or driving himself, BBC
reports.
“I did it because most people said it was
impossible and because it was a travel adventure
which hadn’t been done before” he said.
Hughes set off on his adventure on January 1,
2009 from Uruguay travelling for 1,426 days on a
$100 a week budget. He finally completed his
journey in the world’s youngest country, South
Sudan.
“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.
