The British man who travelled to all countries

I'm responding to this news. He's claimed one world record. Yes, that's amazing. But there are two records waiting to be claimed, which, I think, are more amazing:

1. 'Most countries visited by a woman using ground transport'. Experience might be totally different if the traveller is a woman--think of safety concerns and menstruation period.
2. 'Most countries visited by a person from a visa-restricted country using ground transport'. As a UK citizen, he's got the edge on most residents of the world who don't really have freedom of international travel. The British in 2013 rank 1st with 173 countries that can be visited without a visa--compared to Afghans who can only enter 28 countries freely. Just imagine if you've got to apply for a visa at least one month or two prior to your arrival in each country with the chance of your application being denied--you will definitely take more than 4 years to complete this grand voyage, won't you?
