the man you're looking at
has traveled to 194
countries without ever using a plane
not even once 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 am 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
[Music]
if we're trying 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 and that that's every
country in the world
in a single journey completely without
the use of light 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 option
that means one dollar meals one dollar
buses one dollar sim card
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
so far thor has been to 194
countries with only nine countries left
before he officially finishes the whole
world many of the remaining countries
are islands that are very far
they are in the middle of nowhere like
maldives
palau and samoa now the inspiration
might come from me never ever ever
ever giving up i've been out here for
nearly three years now
and i've been through some tough
situations and i never quit i never went
home and i never flew
i never ever give up this crazy journey
has allowed him
to experience the world like no one ever
did
what thor is doing might be pretty
extreme and he doesn't recommend it to
everyone but what he definitely
recommends is for everyone to travel
more
see more experience more whether
inside of a plane on top of a cargo ship
or on your feet
