Great article on Mike whom just finished 23 years abroad and has laid claim to spending significant time in every country on earth which essentially makes him the most travelled human in history.
He sold off his offshore business to fund his journey and I could imagine his eventually book will be a complete masterpiece. The world needs more adventurers like this and what is amazing is the time, the late 80's, when he decided to take this up. I did not grow up in those times but I imagine thinking global like that was not the norm in those days.

He left Calgary when the Flames were Stanley Cup champions, acid-wash jeans were the rage and an obscure little band named Nirvana had just signed to Sub Pop Records.
That was 23 years ago, and after a pint of Guinness in Ireland to celebrate landing his final passport stamp this week, Mike Spencer Bown is at last ready to return home, having extensively travelled every single country and region on earth.
That word, “extensive,” is key: Others have visited just as many countries, but Bown made a point of sticking around and immersing himself each culture.
For that reason, the Calgarian can now lay claim to the title of most extensively travelled person in human history.

Props!
