A British man is visiting every one of the 195 countries in the world without driving or flying.


Graham Hughes is making the journey, called the Odyssey Expedition, to raise money for Water Aid.


He started the trip on 1 January 2009 in Buenos Aires. By last week he had visited 142 countries, setting foot in every country in Europe and Africa. Graham already has the world record for the most countries visited without flying.

Graham’s expedition hasn’t been smooth going. He’s been arrested several times, sneaked into Cuba without permission and sailed 300 miles of ocean in a small wooden boat.
