Starbucking Your Way Across the Globe

by Justin Glow on Mar 23rd 2007 at 12:00PM

Meet Winter, a man who has dedicated his life to visiting every single Starbucks in the world. With 12,440 stores (as of November, 2006), and an average of six opening each and every day, he's got his work cut out for him.

In 2004 -- almost 10 years into his journey -- a documentary film maker named Bill Tangeman read a magazine article about Winter and decided it would be the perfect subject of a documentary. He sat out with Winter, visiting countless Starbucks across the world and interviewing the people he comes across. The movie will be released on DVD in April, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon. Check out a preview of the movie after the jump:

This goal reminds me of the people who waited in line for months to be the "first" ones who saw the Star Wars movies. Pointless but everyone's gotta have a goal.

Interesting choice of places to visit, but I admire that he took on such a colossal feat. But, really, its a good enough reason to travel all over the place.
