Update.

I've just discovered a man who is very famous in France. Titouan Lamazou. In his life he won a single handed yatch race around the world, and then decided to travel the planet on foot, painting the people of the Earth. His works and life became such a success that the United Nations awarded him a Blue Passport - meaning he has all access to countries without having to go through bureaucratic nuisances. Its now one of my life goals to acquire a Blue Passport.
