The eccentric traveller

Winter is a traveller with a personal mission: visit every Starbucks in the world. The Houston-born traveller started his challenge in 1997, while working as a software programmer. At the moment he visited 99.70% of the Starbucks in USA and Canada, so 8547 stores. He also visited 1406 stores over the world, in the UK, Japan, France, Spain, Mexico, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Greece, Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Czech Republic, Portugal and Chile. 

When on holiday he normally sleeps in his car, saving time and money to pursue his goal: have a coffee in every Starbucks store on earth. A documentary about his highly caffeinated journey has been made. And even if it might look like a clever marketing strategy, Winter assures that he doesn't get a penny from Starbucks.
