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 too 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.
