FINN reaches 15 million miles

Seventy-year-old Fred Finn, who has spent 52 years exploring the globe, has visited 139 countries and took 718 flights on Concorde while it was active. These numbers not only make him the world's most travelled man, but also give him the record for the most journeys taken aboard Concorde planes. Now retired, Finn first travelled aged 18. Later on, his job setting up international trade licences meant he could easily keep travelling around the world on a regular basis. In 1983, he entered the Guinness Book of Records for "the most miles travelled as a passenger". Not only has his record remained unbeaten, Finn has since travelled several million more miles. And he doesn't seem ready to stop visiting places any time soon, as he plans to go as far as the moon one day.

"Seeing as I've travelled to most of the Earth, I have started looking further afield", he said. (Yahoo travel)
