Indian man visits every countries in the world
Indian businessman Kashi Samaddar, 52, became the first person to visit all sovereign countries (192 according to UN) in the world. He’s certified by Guinness World Records for completing the journey between July 2002 and May 2009.
The defining moment dates back to 2003 when he was denied a visa from South Africa because of his nationality. Feeling humiliated he made a promise to himself that he would travel to all the countries in the world as a mark of defiance.
He first completed his journey (took 12+ years) in May 2008 when he arrived in Serbia (pic). And I guess he revisited some of the countries again for the Guinness record 6+ years feat. The epic trip cost him about $700,000 USD.

No videography is allowed in the maid café, this clip is made by Klik.tv which I think is one of the official broadcast partners of the event.
Next big trip: Seoul, Korea
Been busy for the past week making arrangement for my next travel plan… to Seoul, South Korea. It’s going to be my longest trip ever, close to three months in the country, just within the stay limit without needing to apply for visa.
Already booked my flight ticket, departing in January 2010; will share more stories as time approaches. At the moment, check out this latest Seoul tourism promotion video for the Visit Korea Year (2010-2012) campaign…
