Kiwi to become the world's most travelled man

Two-hundred-thirty countries, 17 to go – John Bougen is about to become the most-travelled man in the world. He's also a Kiwi.

He still has just a few places to tick off before he can officially claim the record for world's most well-travelled man.

"There are 247 nations, territories dependencies and autonomous regions," says Mr Bougen, and his goal is get to every one of them.

He wrote a book after he had knocked off 191 nations in just 150 days. Mr Bougen reckons the New Zealand accent and passport can get you to most.
