British traveller 24, spends £125,000 and five years visiting every country on earth|打工度假算什麼,24歲英國青年「打工環遊世界」!



A British traveller has become the youngest person to visit every country in the world.

James Asquith spent a whopping £125,000 to achieve his dream. Over the course of five years the 24-year-old, who now works as banker in London, managed to visit all 196 countries from Australia to Iraq and San Marino to Serbia.

He started travelling in 2008 after his best friends caught the travel bug and decided to pack his bags and see what the fuss was about. Mr Asquith, from Stevenage, Hertfordshire, said: 'Vietnam was the first independent country I went to and I spent nearly three months there. 'I also spent about five months in the US and Canada, getting to 27 states from Hawaii to Alaska.'

「環遊世界」可說是每個人的夢想!英國現年24歲的青年 James Asquith,年紀輕輕就完成許多人畢身的夢想,成為達成這一壯舉最年輕的紀錄者。他以5年的時間,花費12萬5000英鎊(約台幣585萬元)遊歷全球196個國家,實現他的夢想。

現於倫敦擔任銀行員的James,受到旅遊迷好友的影響,自2008年開始決定收拾行囊,去看看世界到底有多大。他第一個造訪的國家是越南(Vietnam),並在當地度過了將近3個月;也花了5個月的時間待在美國和加拿大,踏訪了27個州,從夏威夷到阿拉斯加都有他的足跡。
