  The Impossible Journey Thor Pedersen Robinson £25, 308pp
  
  As a child growing up in Denmark, Thor Pedersen dreamed of being a great explorer, his mind filled with images of tangled forests, abandoned temples and lost empires.
  
  
  After a spell working as a United Nations peacekeeper, he started
  a career in shipping and logistics. In 2013, his father sent
  him an article about an Englishman who had gone to every country
  in the world, travelling by land and sea, although he had paused his trip several
  times to fly home. Bored with his job, and eager for adventure, Pedersen, right, decided
  he would do similar, but with no interruptions and definitely no sneaky
  flights home.

  Armed with a modest amount of sponsorship, and having
  been appointed a goodwill ambassador by the Danish Red Cross, he set off in 2013 with a list of the 201
  countries he needed to visit.
  
  His plan was to pass through a country every seven days, and he calculated the journey would take no more than four years
  to complete. Looking back, he writes, ‘I was delusional from
  the very first seconds of the project.'
  
  He criss-crossed Europe before travelling on a container ship from Iceland to Canada, and then journeying through North, Central and South
  America. In each new country, he noticed, he would be told he was
  lucky to have survived the place he had just come from, and
  how dangerous his next destination was.
  
  His real problems started in Africa. He contracted malaria in Liberia and found it
  almost impossible to get an entry visa to Equatorial Guinea, ‘a tiny, paranoid petrol state'.
  
  When he finally got there, he was bitten by chimpanzees.
  A part of the journey that should have taken six weeks had
  lasted nine months.
  
  
  
  
  The Impossible Journey is available now from the Mail Bookshop 
  
  On the top of a windswept Mount Kenya, he proposed to
  his long-suffering doctor girlfriend, Le, who was visiting from Denmark.
  
  By now, his enthusiasm for his journey had waned, but he ploughed on through Asia, before gearing up
  to tackle the far-flung Pacific islands. Arriving in Hong
  Kong in January 2020, he was puzzled to be handed a face mask.
  
  
  Pedersen spent the pandemic years in Hong Kong; with only nine countries still to go, he refused to give up on his quest.
  Finally, in May 2023, he made it to Sri Lanka
  and then the Maldives, the final countries on the list. After 3,576 days and having covered 380,000km, he could go home - by boat,
  of course.
  
  The Impossible Journey is never less than entertaining, but
  gets bogged down in endless struggles with unyielding bureaucrats
  for the visas he needs. When he does write about watching hundreds of dolphins frolicking
  off the coast of the Solomon Islands, or wild days drinking vodka with the locals
  in Turkmenistan, the book really comes alive.
  
  Now married to Le, and with a baby daughter, he is proud to be the first person to visit every country in the world without taking a flight, but admits: ‘The project damaged me, and I
  cannot be sure I'll ever be right in my head again.' What he remembers most about his travels are the people he met,
  and the kindness they showed him. His conclusion is that
  ‘the world is far safer than people realise'.

  Наркотики — этто без- безвредное развлечение, а этап ко разрушению.
  Кокаин, мефедрон, амфетамин, МДМА, а
  тоже марихуана, гашиш также бошки убыстряют зависимость, крушат нервную систему, разбивают здоровье.
  Преходящая торч обращается депрессией, тревожностью да потерей смысла.
  
  Хоть "лёгкие" ядовитый дурман — элитный шаг буква серьёзным проблемам.
  
  Стоит огонь минутное ферза обломанной
  жизни?

  Наркотики — этто немерено безвредное развлечение, а путь ко разрушению.
  
  Снежок, мефедрон, амфетамин, МДМА,
  а также трава, ямба и бошки поднимают
  филиация, разламывают нервную систему, рушат здоровье.
  
  Преходящая эвфория оборачивается депрессией, тревожностью также
  утратой смысла. Даже "легкие" ядовитый дурман — первый шаг буква серьёзным
  проблемам. Целесообразно огонь
  минутное ферза обломанной жизни?

  Excellent blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
  
  I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
  Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm completely confused ..
  Any recommendations? Many thanks!
