Graham Hughes, 33, used buses, taxis, trains and his own two feet to travel 160,000 miles in exactly 1,426 days - all on a shoestring of just $100 a week

Yesterday he trudged into Juba, the capital of South Sudan, to end the epic journey that began in his hometown of Liverpool on New Year's Day 2009

Spent four days 'in a leaky boat' to reach Cape Verde, was jailed for a week in Congo, and was 'saved from Muslim fundamentalists by a Filipino ladyboy'

His lowest point was when his sister, Nicole, died of cancer two years ago

He says: 'I think I wanted to show that the world is not some big, scary place, but in fact is full of people who want to help you'

What a great way to see the world,

What a man! I want to meet him, or travel with him :laugh:

Something to tell the grand kids ...!!!

This is really impressive, about to go read the full article now. What an inspirational guy!

I put this in the same folder I put skydiving, Something everyone says is amazing, but I have ZERO desire to do. I enjoy a road trip every now and then, but for the most part i HATE traveling.

He looks way older than 33.

This is really cool. I would love to visit as many countries as I can, or want. But with a plane and whatnot.

Awesome. And he did it with a small amount of money as well. I would have ended up in some foreign jail after like 3 countries. http://i395.photobucket.com/albums/p...ilies/wink.gif
