Travelling to every country without flying: Graham Hughes at TEDxBrixton

Graham shares hilarious tales from his epic adventure travelling to every country in the world without flying and how that journey transformed him. 

About Graham
Graham Hughes is an adventurer, filmmaker, television presenter and Guinness World Record holder from Liverpool, England. Between 2009 and 2012, he became the first (and only!) person to successfully visit every sovereign state in the world without flying -- alone and on a shoestring budget. Along the way he was imprisoned in Africa (twice), got drunk with the Prime Minister of Tuvalu and saved from Islamic fundamentalists by a ladyboy called Jenn. 

About TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
