The themes covered on the Destinations website:
If you love to travel, I think you’ll enjoy this article about Fred Finn, the 15 million-mile man.
“Today, Fred has crossed the Atlantic 2,000 times; he’s taken 718 Concord flights and visited 139 countries. Having clocked up over 15 million miles he is the Guinness World Record holder for the World’s Most Travelled Man. Not bad for a man who claims he used to get car sick.”
So where else does Fred want to go? Maybe he should ask Chris Guillebeau, the younger version of Fred, who has visited every country in the world, except one I believe it’s Norway, before his 35th birthday.
Fred Finn, a man who has been to over 139 countries, says his highlights have been:
- Paragliding and big game fishing in Florida
- Croatia has also won him over
- For beauty Fred recommends the Seychelles
- For history he adores Romney Marsh in south-east England
- For warmth of welcome the Ukraine
“The Ukrainians are the most hospitable people, they really are magnificent.”
With so much under his belt is there anywhere still on his bucket list?
“Antarctica,” he says after careful consideration.
So should I enter the contest?
- What kind of video should I make?
- What angle should I take to stand out from the “young people?”
- What would interest you ?
- What can I bring to this competition?
- Would you support me?
What about you? Do you want to give it a shot?
