Traveler Graham Hughes from the Guinness Book of Records , who traveled the whole world without flights, spoke about his tourist experience.

The most amazing country of all, according to Graham, is Iran. No less amazing and pleasant, but in food, Indonesia with sweet and sour squsp and rice, Lebanon, Armenia and Turkmenistan with barbecue were found. The Republic of Cabo-Verde (West Africa) caused negative feelings in the traveler, since he arrived in this country in a large canoe with a bunch of Senegal fishermen, which interested local police and lingered in the local department behind bars. Then Hughes plans to visit 192 countries included in the UN in one year in order to attract funds for the charity organization of Wateraid .

Traveling around large countries, Graham mainly visits coastal settlements, for example, in the USA it was Florida. It is more difficult to travel next to Brazil, Russia and Canada in this format.

The longest trip took 34 days on an old cargo ship (between Australia and the dwarf state of Nauru in the Pacific).

Travel funds were earned by Graham from the programs that he made for Lonely Planet (if you want to see them, but you are not in Britain, the author advised to use the Hola expansion). At the end, parents and friends helped financially.

Visiting all countries, according to Hughes, took four years. There was an idea of ​​a hero of 27 thousand pounds, that is, per year expenses did not exceed 7 thousand pounds (10 thousand US dollars). Graham speaks a little in French and Spanish, knows some Chinese hieroglyphs, but Graham also met the difficulties of the language barrier in Russia.

The hero of the Guinness Book of Records from the private island in the Caribbean (Panama), where he plans to write a book about his adventures, narrated. Graham Hughes decided to live on the island to support the organization of Wateraid and prove to people that the world is not so terrible as the media sometimes portrays it.

This is how the passport of an avid tourist looks:

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt talked with the Redditors about his Hitrecord project. The actor created a production Internet company with his brother in 2010.

In fact, everyone can take part in this project-community if he writes videos, music, stories, illustrations and wants to attract other Internet users to his work.

The REC symbol (a red circle denoting the recording) is very important for the actor. In young years, Gordon-Levitt was difficult to start a career in a big movie. Initially, HitredCord was a kind of TV show, but at the beginning of his own acting work, the future star realized that he wanted to support the project and develop it, despite his permanent work. Now the site has various functionality, you can carry out subscriptions to the recommendations of community members with interesting work or still create your own.

With HitredCord, Levitt himself shot a short film, which was shown at the Sandance Independent Film Festival. Levitt advised young novice directors who want to embody ideas through Hitrecord to start joining the large projects that exist there in order to contribute.

Speaking about his favorite cinema works, the actor highlighted the picture "Heher" . Christopher Nolan was noted from the directors, who, on the one hand, had a clearly thought out work plan, and on the other, he is always open for spontaneous cooperation. It is this balance of Gordonnes-Levitt that is trying to use in work on HitredCord. According to the actor, he checks his every idea with the question "what would Chris do?"

The most awkward moment in his creative career Joseph called his pants bursting on the set. Fortunately, there were more in stock.
