Thor Pedersen embarked on a remarkable ten-year journey, traveling to 203 countries without stepping on a plane. His unique undertaking was sparked by an email from his father about extreme travelers. Inspired by this idea, Pedersen meticulously planned his route, beginning in Denmark. Throughout his journey, he served as a Goodwill Ambassador for the Danish Red Cross, visiting their offices in 192 nations. His experiences are chronicled in his blog, "Once Upon a Saga," and his book "The Impossible Journey," which also inspired a forthcoming documentary.
"I realized I was born too late. I couldn't be the first to reach the top of Mount Everest, for example, because that was done in 1953. The great firsts were gone."
"I had no idea it was possible to visit every country in the world without flying. Inspired by extreme travelers, I decided to pursue my unique challenge."
