Man who visited every country without flying has finally returned home

Man who visited every country without flying has finally returned home

On October 10, 2013, Torbjørn “Thor” Pedersen left his job, girlfriend, and family behind in Denmark to embark on an epic journey.

His goal? To visit every country in the world without flying.

Pedersen set a couple of rules for himself. He’d spend at least 24 hours in each nation and resist returning home until he finished.

He’d also do his best to keep costs low and live off a budget of roughly US$20 a day.

It would have been easier to fly, of course, but Pedersen wanted to bring the project full circle.

“There’s a historical sense of returning home by ship – people can see it on the horizon and stand and wave as I come down the gangway,” Pedersen, who has been travelling as a goodwill ambassador for the Danish Red Cross, tells CNN Travel. “And that seems like an appropriate way to complete the project.”
