From the New York Daily News: He’s a real globetrotter!
A British man has become the first person to visit all 201 countries in the world without ever setting foot on an airplane.
“I love travel, and I guess my reason for doing it was I wanted to see if this could be done by one person traveling on a shoestring,” Graham Hughes, who lived on just $100 a week during the trip, told the Christian Science Monitor.
The 33-year-old marked the end of his four-year, 160,000-mile journey in South Sudan, the world’s newest nation, on Monday.
“The main feeling today is just one of intense gratitude to every person around the world who helped me get here by giving me a lift, letting me stay on their couch or pointing me in the right direction,” he said.
It took Hughes 1,456 days to complete the epic, low-cost odyssey, which the adventurer filmed to raise money for the charity WaterAid, which works to provide safe water and sanitation in Africa, Asia and Central America.  http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/man-visit-201-countries-flying-article-1.1209055
If I travel the world or the United States, this is how I would travel- not in airplanes but instead by camper or car.  I hate to fly
