I Flew Around the World in 8 Days

I tried to travel around the world in just 8 days 🌍✈️ — crossing continents, time zones and cultures at full speed. The journey starts in London, flying Norse Atlantic Airways to Los Angeles, where I explore LA for two days before jumping back on a plane. From LAX to Tokyo, I fly Zipair, experiencing Japan’s capital for a couple of days before continuing the challenge across Asia.

From Tokyo to Singapore (again with Zipair), the pace doesn’t slow down. I explore Singapore, one of the world’s most futuristic cities, before taking on a brutal 20-hour travel day back to London to complete the loop. Multiple airlines, long-haul budget flights, jet lag, and nonstop movement — all to see how much of the world you can really experience in just over a week.

This video is about fast travel, long-haul flying, budget airlines, and whether trips like this are actually worth it. If you’re into travel challenges, around-the-world trips, aviation, or just seeing what happens when you push travel to its limits — this one’s for you.

Disclaimer, this video is from July 2024 and is actually the first ever time I filmed travel! I've already uploaded these individually so if you think you've got deja vu that's why! But I hope you all enjoy the remastered version!
