On October 10th 2013, at the age of 34 years, Torbjørn “Thor” Pedersen set out on an ambitious journey to become the first person in history to reach every country in the world completely without flying.
Thor speaks about the unique adventures within the journey and considerations relating to the planning of a multi-year global project. The greatest challenges he faced were related to bureaucracy and logistics, and as the project moved into its later years, extreme exhaustion.
Danger, risks, near misses, visa problems, and other complications along the way, however he has a lifetime of memories.
An incredible achievment yet to matched by anyone else.
