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.
