Around the world in four minutes, one second


Readers may have heard of adventurer Graham Hughes.  For the past four and a half years he's been traveling the globe.  His objective was to reach all 201 countries in the world without flying.  Last year, he succeeded.

He's just put up this video clip of himself in every country where he's been.  It covers them all in four minutes and one second.  It's already going viral on YouTube.





If you'd like to know more, here's a talk he gave at a TEDx conference in England earlier this year.





One can only salute such dedication . . . all the while scratching one's head at the obsessions of 'mad dogs and Englishmen'!
