So I am having lunch tomorrow with a guiness world record holder (first person to visit every country in the world without flying).

The trip was filmed and shown on nat geo channel on the program 'GRAHAM'S WORLD'

To top it off, he actually WON his own island here in Bocas Del Toro, Panama, Frickin' crazy!!

The kicker is that he is actually from my hometown (Liverpool, England).

Now personally I have never in my entire life ever met anyone who has been to more countries than i have (I have been to about 100) but that's gonna change tomorrow.

Anyone have any questions you want me to ask him?

Details of his island are here

He is the first person ever to visit every single country in the world without flying.

He did it on a budget of less than $100 per week.

Post your questions here.

So how was it...what was he like in person, any interesting stories or impressions of him?

I wonder, did talk about hooking up with girls during his 4 years on the road? I see that he got his gf towards the end of his trip.
Also, did he have any groupies or anything once he started to become a little bit 'famous' with his youtube channel and such?

1) I actually woke up with food poisoning yesterday. Having to stop the conversation in order to got outside to the street to throw up the mineral water you have been drinking (yes I could not even hold down bottled water) meant that I wasn't my usually chatty self. But fuck it. Got to meet the guy, had a semi-decent chat and he offered to give me a tour of the island which I am prob gonna take him up on some time in the next week.

2) His GF was sitting at the table with him so talk of X rated adventures didn't really seem appropriate.
