PHOTO >>> BRITISH MAN SETS FOOT ON EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH WITH ONLY $100 ON HIM

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.
