About Graham Hughes

Drawing on over 25 years of experience filming, editing and presenting, I'm the founder and CEO of "Labour Social", a political YouTube channel featuring daily content from a range of left-wing political voices.I present, write, produce, design, animate, administrate and coordinate, and have successfully built up a subscriber base of over 36,000 users in less than six months, over 300 videos uploaded or streamed, with over 1.5 million unique video views in that time. But that's far from my only claim to fame.I am, and always will be, the first person to visit every country in the world without flying. 201 nations and 17 territories over land and over sea, alone, on a limited shoe-string budget and without professional support. It took me just over four years. People said it was impossible, but I proved them wrong. My record-setting achievement was featured in The Guinness Book of Records (2016) and Ripley's Believe It Or Not (2015), and is still yet to be beaten.During my travels, I filmed and presented a major eight-part TV series, "Graham's World" for Lonely Planet, National Geographic and BBC Worldwide. It was broadcast in over 80 countries, including the USA, Australia, India and China. The book I wrote about my adventure, "Man of the World", was listed as one of Kirkus Reviews' "Books of the Year" for 2017.Not being one to rest on my laurels, in 2013 I was the winner of the American survivalist TV show "SOS Island", the prize being a private Caribbean Island of my own. I subsequently lived for three years off-grid on “Jinja Island” in Panama.In 2018, I created the phenomenally successful "Three Blokes In A Pub" anti-Brexit video blog.A proud Liverpudlian, I'm also the founder of Global Scouse Day, which raises thousands for charity every year, in 2022 I created UK4UKR which has been responsible for a number of humanitarian journeys to Ukraine.As a consequence of my somewhat unusual life and relentless work ethic, I have spoken at dozens of key events and conferences, I've given seven TED Talks and have been interviewed by over 100 major media outlets around the world; television, radio, newspapers and magazines.

    THE ODYSSEY EXPEDITION was the first successful journey to every country in the world without flying.That's 201 countries across 6 continents over the course of 4 years, including DR Congo, Somalia, Afghanistan and North Korea using only buses, trains, bush taxis and ships. I did it alone, on a shoestring budget and with no professional support. I set two brand new Guinness World Records, one for the most countries visited in one year without flying (133), another for the fastest journey to all countries using only scheduled ground transportation (4 years and 1 month). At the time I was also the youngest person to visit every country (flying or non-flying) and the person to do it for the least amount of money (~£7,500 p.a.).It was an adventure of a lifetime, I was thrown in jail in Africa (twice), climbed to the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza, travelled 650km over open ocean in a leaky wooden canoe, drank with the Prime Minister of Tuvalu, joined a Bwiti tribe in Gabon and was rescued from Islamic fundamentalists by a ladyboy called Jem.Along the way I raised over £10,000 for the charity WaterAid, as well as filming and presenting "Lonely Planet's The Odyssey" (aka "Graham's World"), an 8x30min TV series produced by Lonely Planet, commissioned by National Geographic and distributed by BBC Worldwide. "The Odyssey" has been screened in over 50 countries worldwide, including South Africa, India, China, Australia and the USA.

We also attracted the attention of Lonely Planet TV, which lead directly to me embarking on The Odyssey Expedition in December 2008.
