Meet The British Man Who Has Stepped
Foot In Every Country On Earth Without
Travelling By Plane.

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.
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.

Amazing

I watched his travel diaries everyday on the National Geographic Channel, dude was even initiated into secret cults in Cameroun and South Africa and he saw it a part of an adventure, I think he was also arrested in about 4-5 countries or thereabout for trespassing lolz. However, when he was passing through Nigeria, the major sticking point that still rings through my mind was when he complained of how a lot of Nigerian drivers drove like lunatics and people who've never held driving licenses (which is very true). He also filmed a few live accidents to buttress his point. The journey was too hazardous though, don't think I would wanna do stuff like that.
