So you think your commute is harsh? Jason Lewis left home in 1994! Seriously though, this is a incredible achievement combined at a incomprehensible personal cost.
The Age: Around the world in 13 years
He was hit by a car in Colorado, attacked by a crocodile in Australia, detained as a suspected spy in Egypt and survived illness and periods of despair.

Bicycles, in-line skates, kayaks, swimming, walking and a unique pedal powered boat are being used by Englishman Jason Lewis and an international team to travel over 45,000 miles across five continents, two oceans and one sea (1994 - 2007).
