Having done a fair bit of travel myself, I was interested today to find that the world most travelled man has visited 196 countries.
However, this does not include ‘enclaves’, ‘territories’ and ‘autonomous regions’ which bump the visitable list up to over 800.
Anyhow, here’s the story.
- Retired technician Donald Parrish Jr, 70, has visited 840 destinations
- He finished visiting each of the world’s 196 countries three years ago
- Mr Parrish’s first overseas trip was to Mexico in 1957 at the age of 13
- He could become the first person to visit each of the world’s 875 countries, territories, autonomous regions, enclaves, geographically separated island groups, and major states and provinces
