Cédric Waldburger, 34, and Rainer-Marc Frey, 59, visited 30 countries in 24 hours, setting a new world record on August 23, 2022. The trip was an adventure planned throughout the pandemic, taking Waldburger and Frey two and half years to coordinate the trips by car, taxi, helicopter and private plane. Each ton of CO2 produced on the trip will be offset twice. It took them 14 hours to break the previous world record, which was set at 19 countries in 2014 by Gunnar Garfors, when they arrived in San Marino to make it 20 countries, but they still had 10 hours in their day, and so they continued on their journey by plane to Dubrovnik, making Croatia country number 21. More than two years of planning between corona isolations all paid off when their plane landed in Budapest, Hungary, at 11:15 p.m. In all, Waldburger and Frey put both feet on the ground in 30 European countries. The 30 countries they visited were: Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Slovenia, Italy, San Marino, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania and Hungary.
