According to the report, Graham Hughes, 33, took off the record-breaking trip in 2009. By November 26, 2012, he had reached his goal all by train, bus, taxi or ship.

“Due to media reports that described you snuck into some countries, we cannot accept your application, as we do not accept any illegal activity," read a letter sent to him from the judges.
