He Visited Every Country Without Flying | Thor Pedersen’s Impossible Journey

About this episode

Thor Pedersen shares his experiences and insights from his decade-long journey visiting every country in the world without flying.

Most people will never visit every country in the world. Thor Pedersen did it.Without flying. In this episode, I sit down with Thor to talk about what it actually took to complete one of the most ambitious journeys ever attempted. We get into: * What 10 years of global travel really feels like * The mental toll of chasing a massive goal * Why the world is better than the media makes it seem * The countries that are most misunderstood * What ambition gives you… and what it takes away * How to find meaning after completing something enormous Thor brings a perspective very few people on earth have — and it challenges a lot of what we think we know.
