'I've visited every country in the world without flying'

Danish traveller Thor Pedersen has visited every country in the world and describes the ups and downs of his almost decade-long journey - including his enforced two-year stay in Hong Kong. He travelled by foot, car, bus, train and boat, including container ships. He says it took him 3,512 days to go through every country in the world without flying. While the official UN list of countries is 195, Thor says he's visited 203 countries as he's also included disputed territories in his list.

OS's James Reynolds caught up with Thor after he'd just journeyed to his last country. He asked him where we was speaking to him from.
