“Man of the World” is a Riotous Account of British Adventurer Graham Hughes’s Madcap Guinness World Record™ Expedition to Every Country in the World Without Flying
CLEVELAND (PRWEB) March 14, 2018 -- More than 4,000 people have scaled Mount Everest…
More than 500 people have trekked to the South Pole…
12 people have walked on the surface of The Moon…
But nobody had ever been to every country in the world without flying…
...before Graham Hughes hit the road!
“Man of the World: Book 1 of The Odyssey Expedition” is the gripping account of the first year of British adventurer Graham Hughes’s daring Guinness World Record™ attempt to visit every country on Earth using only surface-based transportation, told with refreshing candor in his own words.
Covering the first 139 countries & territories of The Odyssey Expedition, “Man of the World” is much more than a travelogue; it’s an epic tale of grit and humor, dizzying highs and crushing lows, a snapshot of the world seen through the eyes of a man who “eats impossible for breakfast”.
Readers join Graham as he rumbles through The Americas on increasingly grotty buses, hitchhikes around The Caribbean on a variety of unseaworthy vessels, speeds around Europe on insanely fast trains and then plunges head-first into Africa with only his backpack and his natural charm to protect him.
Which is probably why they locked him up in Cape Verde.
And again in Congo.
"A riveting journey recounted by an irrepressible, highly likable narrator."
–Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Getting a starred review from Kirkus doesn’t surprise publisher & editor, Jared Bendis. “I knew about Graham Hughes and The Odyssey Expedition long before we decided to publish him. His One Second Every Country video on YouTube has more than 1.5m views and it was easy to see that The Odyssey Expedition would be a compelling – and hilarious – tale. Considering it took Graham over 4 years to visit all 201 countries, we knew it was simply too much for one book and he agreed to make it a trilogy.”
For Graham The Odyssey Expedition was more than just a quest to see the world or set a some records. He calls it “...a rib-tickling multinational caper of courage, tenacity, love, friendship, danger, panic, passport stamps and geopolitics, washed down with copious amounts of alcohol.”
