One man's attempt to set foot in EVERY NATION on Earth.
This vlog covers the first week of the journey; Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Chile, Peru and Ecuador, and some hairy experiences along the way.
THE ODYSSEY is an epic adventure series, a world first, a race against time, a year of living dangerously. Scouse film-maker Graham Hughes' barking, madcap 12 month adventure. 52 weeks, 100,000 kilometers, 200 nations, 5 continents, 1 man and no flights!
The Odyssey is a marathon trip like no other. In an attempt to set a new record for the fastest surface journey to every nation on earth, I hope to take you with me through all the troubles and tribulations I encounter on the road via these weekly video logs.
If Í'm successful, I'll not only raise a million pounds for WaterAid and set a new world record, I'll also win my girlfriend's hand in marriage.
So the stakes are pretty high.
WaterAid seeks to enable the worlds poorest people to gain access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.
You can donate here: www.justgiving.com/theodysseyexpedition and every penny goes to WaterAid.
Lonely Planet Television is shooting an eight-part TV series of the adventure.
