Ive Got A Crazy Travel World Record Idea!! Is it possible?

Hello Steemians!

I've got an idea.. a crazy idea, and I want to know what you think!

So, it's January 2018, the start of a new year, and as part of my new year's resolution, I want to achieve something special and unique, something which would push my boundaries and something I would remember for the rest of my life. So today I sat down and thought! Here are a few ideas I thought of:

Run the New York Marathon!
Climb Mount Kilimanjaro!
Have a year of drinking no soda!
Visit more countries than last year!

The list could go on and on… but then I thought! “These are all things everyone has already done, why not try to do something no one has completed before, something unique and special”… So here it is.

The current world record for countries traveled in one day is 19… And I believe I could get 20.

Of course, I can!

It would require a hell of a lot of planning with a little bit of luck sprinkled on top!

So this year, me and my best friend are in the early stages of planning a 24-hour road trip to break a new world record. Let me tell you about the current record. The current world record is held by a trio of Norwegian men, Gunnar Garfors, 39, Tay-young Pak, 42 and Øystein Djupvik, 40, who made it to 19 countries within 24 hours which is an incredible feat itself, I mean, it is the current world record!

So what journey did they take?

The record-setting journey started on September 22nd at midnight in Greece. The trio headed north through Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Switzerland, and ended in Liechtenstein just before the 24-hour period was up.

Here is a photo of the route which they took.

I've attached a link to the Daily Mail website, where you can read more about their journey and world record.

So at this point we have a few decisions to make, we could copy there route road to road and hope we have better weather, flight times, and car rental crossovers again sprinkled with a little bit of luck. Or we could mix it up and go for a brand new route… which we have thought about.

Let me go over the route we had a look into.

Wales > England > Belgium > Holland > France > Germany > Luxembourg > Switzerland > Lichtenstein > Czech Republic > Slovakia > Hungary > Austria > Slovenia > Croatia > Bosnia > Serbia > Kosovo > Bulgaria > Macedonia.

Is this possible? The idea is in the works and we’d like to plan and execute this during the summer when the weather cheers up!

I want to know what you think! Drop me a comment and we can have a discussion!

Anyway, have an amazing positive day, and I will catch you in another Blog Post

Ciao
