Jim’s world tour
Some might see it as a perk of the job, others as an intolerable burden. Either way, Jim Wolfensohn must be one of the world’s most travelled people. Since he became president of the World Bank he’s been to over 30 countries and covered 111,803 miles, or 179,133 kilometres. That’s the equivalent of 11.3 times around the globe, or halfway to the moon all since June 1995.
The countries he’s visited are about as diverse as you can get, from Mali and Malawi, to Australia, Vietnam, the West Bank and Uzbekistan.
