Graham who? Thats what I was thinking a few minutes ago when someone mentioned he was in Kuwait. After a quick google it turns out Graham is trying to visit every country in the world in one epic journey, without flying or driving. So far he’s already broken the Guinness World Record by visiting 133 countries within one year. According to his twitter feed and blog, Graham is now in Kuwait and he might be here for awhile because he’s kinda stuck.
Before he got here he figured he would be able to take a ferry to Bahrain the same way he was able to take a ferry from Iran to Kuwait (I didn’t think that was possible). Once he arrived to Kuwait he realized there weren’t any ferries to Bahrain so he applied for a transit visa to Saudi and he got rejected. He then tried applying for a Iranian transit visa but they also rejected him so now he’s trying to get a full proper visa to Saudi Arabia. I’m not sure if he has a plan D.

Wow, good for him. I’m pretty sure it’s everyones dream to travel the world, this guy is doing it the hard way. Graham tell me where you are so we can chill.
he’s stuck here for two weeks now! thats bad…
Of all the fascinating countries in the world he gets stuck here. Poor guy
He can only get a transit visa if he has a visa for any other country (like say Bahrain) and he is traveling by bus (not sure if the service is still running) or if he travels by car.
Even then, transit visas are difficult to get, especially for Saudi.
Yeah.. i know him .. his girlfriend now at Australia and asked me a request to him surf my couch.. but i had an exam and i could not .. a friend of mine Hisham Alasfour already hosted him š
