James Asquith, 24, began travelling while he was a student in 2008, and has since accumulated a full range of passport stamps.

Despite his youth, he has been in no rush, with his only goal being to tick off every country before he was 25.

"Vietnam was the first independent country I went to and I spent nearly three months there,” he said.

“I also spent about five months in the US and Canada, getting to 27 states from Hawaii to Alaska.”

He estimates his total expenditure during his voyage at £125,000, which he part-funded by taking jobs in bars and hostels as he travelled.

Impressive. Would you like to do the same?
 
I would love to travel the world and naturally, take photos. The practically of it all however isn't likely unless I obtain a job where I travel the world or I come into a large amount of money.
 
>while he was a student

Pretty sure mommy and daddy paid most of the bill.
