Briton who became first person to visit all 201 nations without flying


It took Graham Hughes nearly four years to cover 201 nations to become the first person to travel the world without flying.


Now fans can undertake the same journey in only four minutes without needing to leave the house.

The 33-year-old from Liverpool used buses, taxis, trains and his own two feet to travel 160,000 miles in 1,426 days - all on a shoestring budget of just $100 (£65) a week.

Hughes filmed his travels for a documentary after setting off from his hometown on New Year's Day 2009.
By December last year, he crossed the border into the newly-created South Sudan and cracked open the champagne to celebrate completing his mission.
