In 1898 Joshua Slocum became the first person to sail solo around the world. By 1967 Slocum had made three circumnavigations. The very next person to obtain membership into this unique club was Francis Chichester who did in in 1967. But it wasn't until 1969 when Robin Lee Graham became the first teenager to sail (solo) around the world, that the dream lit a fire in the hearts of so many baby boomer - sailing wannabes. Since Robin Lee Graham - over 250 people are known to have completed a solo circumnavigation around the world.

It depends on the mode of travel and the capacity of transportation. For example, a solo traveler can go around the world on a plane. In contrast, a group that decides to travel by car or on foot would need multiple people to take turns driving or corresponding to the physical demands of the journey.
