Just read about Kashi Samaddar, an Indian man who has set a world record by travelling to EVERY country in the world. Read all about it here.

His journey took just over six years, and £350,000 to complete, and came with many misfortunes along the way, including being stuck in Nauru for a month and a half after the plane out of the island was cancelled eight times.

A genuine jetsetter if ever there was one.

Now I have decided to make this more of a regular feature of the blog, and when I hear about someone who does something inspirational, or even just plain nice, I am going to shout about it for everyone to hear.

Which brings me to Nigel Parker, who was given the honour of turning on the Christmas light at Portishead this year (a very big honour that is usually reserved for celebrities). Nigel looks to be one of the nicest blokes around, and if you are feeling a little down today, just take a leaf from Nigel’s book.

Here’s the video. If you come across anyone that you think is an inspiration, please let me know. Everyone needs a little inspiration.
