Danish-born Torbjørn “Thor” Pedersen has traveled to the most countries — 203 — without flying.
Still doing back-to-back interviews, Pedersen hopes to create a foundation and hit the speaking circuit to share his story, and inspire and motivate other people. Having spoken with Danish and British publishers about a book, he is in talks with potential co-authors. A documentary that has been in development for four years should be released next year.
“The vessel wasn’t of ice class and we had reports coming in of ice sightings in the area. We were not far from where the Titanic went down and that was in the back of my head as well,” he said, adding that three of the ships he traveled on during his odyssey are now at the bottom of the sea. “A lot of the vessels I was on board were in truly poor condition with no safety equipment.
Acknowledging how his final tally of 203 countries exceeds the United Nations’ benchmark of 193 countries and two observer states, Pedersen said he included other locales like Kosovo, Taiwan and Greenland. The duo later wed again on the beach in Vanuatu. But a cyber attack on the government’s server and two typhoons have delayed the pair from receiving the documents.
