In 2013, he read an article about someone that had visited all the countries. Mr Pedersen realized he could set a record by doing something similar. He made a few (rule): no flying, no visiting home. He hoped that he could live on about $20 a day and spend at least 24 hours (stay) in every country.
The first part of his trip was pretty easy and he traveled (happy). But a she moved on, things began to get much (hard). Once he was in a dangerous situation and though he might lose his life. he also had many good experiences. He got a lot of help from people all over the world, he didn't give upon the halfway. "You might have to try 1,000 closed doors," he said, "but there is always open door somewhere. Never, ever give up and always believe in (you)."
Finally, in May 2023, Mr. Pedersen arrived in Maldives, the last country on his list. In July, Mr. Pedersen (return) to his country. Now, Mr. Pedersen is enjoying his quiet time to think about his trip. After that, he plans to write a book and share what he learned in his travels around the world.
