How was this record achieved?
To complete his childhood dream of visiting all the wonders of the world, Eissa was only allowed to travel by public transport, so he took flights, buses, trains, subways, and other means to achieve this. “I had to navigate a complex web of flights, trains, buses, subways and walking between transportation hubs and the Wonders. A single disruption could derail the entire itinerary and result in a flight back home!” he told GWR.
