After 1,426 days, four full passports, and countless buses, trains, and boats, Hughes, a filmmaker, television presenter, and Guinness World Record holder, had visited all United Nations member states and Taiwan, Vatican City, the Palestinian territory, Kosovo, the Western Sahara, and the four home nations of the United Kingdom.
The entire journey, which cost an average of $13 a day, utilized trains, busses, taxis, or ships, but at no point did he travel by air, meaning that he created a new Guinness World Record.
Graham's personal video log of his trip has been converted into a television series called “Graham's World” on the National Geographic Adventure channel. It is an eight part series covering Graham's first year of traveling to every country in the Americas, Europe, and most of Africa from January 2009 - December 2009. Highlights of the trip included imprisonment in the Republic of the Congo, getting caught sneaking into Russia, and running the blockade into Cuba. He was arrested in Estonia and Cameroon and spent jail time in Congo and Cape Verde.
Graham completed his expedition on Monday November 26, 2012 after entering South Sudan
