This guy visited every country in the world before turning 40 - here are the highlights from his journey
Gunnar Garfors
It was at that point that he decided to make it his mission to travel to every single country in the world - 198, to be exact.
He accomplished his goal on May 8, 2013, earning him the title of the youngest person to travel to every country. He was 37 years old.
He's since written a book called "198: How I Ran Out Of Countries," and created a website dedicated to his travels.
Garfors - who works at the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) - managed to keep his job throughout his travels; he never wanted to quit.
Instead he wanted to combine a job he has always enjoyed with travel, his greatest passion in life.
Garfor sent us the best photos from his journey around the world.
