Torbjørn C. "Thor" Pedersen (born 19 December 1978) is a Danish traveller and adventurer known for the Once Upon a Saga project: a journey to visit every country in the world without the use of air travel. The project began in 2013 and lasted for over nine years, and Pedersen visited all of the planned 203 nations before finally returning to Denmark by ship. He is next to Graham Hughes the first known person to have travelled through every country on the planet without using a plane. While Hughes had interrupted his world tour to travel to his home country by plane, Pederson travelled continuously without interruption.
