While on his journey he presented the television program Graham s World on the National Geographic Adventure channel, a weekly look into his ongoing quest to break multiple world records by visiting every country on earth without flying. The Odyssey Expedition spanned 1,492 days and over 220 countries and territories... so much material it s far too much to cram into one book so it is being published in 3 volumes!
