The man / you're looking at / has traveled / to 194 countries without ever / using a plane, / not even once. // He / will be the first person / in the world / to travel the entire planet / without flying! // How / is this possible? // Why / is he traveling / the hard way? // And / is he going / to swim / all the way / to Antarctica? // In this tiny apartment / in Hong Kong / is where/ I found / Thor. // Hi! / My name is / Thor / and I'm going to be the first person / to reach / every country / in the world / completely without flying! // Right now, / Thor is in Hong Kong / but this is / not his home. // In fact... // He / has not had / a home / for exactly seven years, / two months / and 27 days! // Seven years ago, / he discovered / that no one/ in the history / of humankind / has been to all countries in the world / in one / single journey / without flying! // So... // He had / a crazy idea! // Why shouldn't I be the first one? // So / on the 10th of October, / at exactly / 10:10 a.m. / with just a pair of shoes / and a backpack / with everything he owns. // He left his home / in Denmark / and promised himself / to never return home / until he's finished. //If you try to dissect that / for a moment, / it all comes out / to that it's / every / country / in the world. / Yes! / Every! / Every! / Every! / Yes! / Yes / that country too / and that country / and that... / Just every country / in the world! / In a single journey / completely / without the use of flight. // So / he ditched the plane / and got on a bus! // Exactly 336 buses, / 158 trains, / 25 container ships, / eight trucks, / even once / on a horse carriage / and zero flights. // All of this / while spending / an average / of just / twenty dollars a day / traveling. // Twenty / dollars / a day! // I always look for / the cheapest options. // That means / one dollar meals, / one dollar buses, / one dollar SIM cards, / and sometimes / I also meet people / who let me stay at their homes / for free too! // What Thor is doing / might sound / really easy / on paper / but the truth is... / it's really / really / difficult. // He had to deal / with visa problems, / accommodation problems, / spending months / on board / of a container ship / just to get / to where he wanted. // And for / conflict zones... / entering the country / also means... / risking his life. // One time, / I was going from / Cameroon / to Congo / on a dirt road / with no one else around. // It was in the middle of the night / and suddenly / we were stopped by / three uniformed men. // They were armed / to their teeth. // They were drunk / out of their mind. / And / I thought that / I was going to be shot / right there / and then. // And if / that's not enough / to discourage you, // imagine spending / seven years on the road / without a home, / without seeing your family, / without seeing your friends. // It's been really hard / and many times / I wanted to quit. // But / I think / if I do, / then I'll regret it / for the rest of my life. //
