196 x LOVE

On August 31, 2018, we’ve set off on a trip around the world in an attempt to become the first couple to travel to all 196 sovereign nations in Guinness World Record time! 🙂

The plan is to visit each country’s most romantic destination or most popular travel attraction. We are planning to engage in romantic activities, to kiss in every country, and to prove with visual content from all across the globe that love is all around us.

While traveling around the globe, we’ll promote LOVE, PEACE, and SUSTAINABILITY.

PEACE

Peace is love for people. And we can only revel in love if we live in peace. Peace is a basic need and we must do our best to protect it.

* We will promote peace, random acts of kindness, and cooperation beyond boundaries of religion, race, ethnicity, and nationality.

LOVE

Love is the greatest power in the world. It can destroy hatred, stop wars, heal broken hearts, bring happiness, and even create lives.

* We will promote the concept of love with our Love board, which will travel with us to all 196 countries.

* We will promote love by searching for the most romantic destinations and by engaging in the most romantic activities.

* With visual content from all across the globe, we will break stereotypes and prove that love is, in fact, everywhere and everything.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM

* We will do 10-minute environmental clean-ups.

* We will raise awareness of pollution and other environmental issues and encourage others to do the same.

* We will offset our carbon footprint by not eating beef, lamb nor pork during our journey.

* We will offset our carbon footprint by planting the required number of trees.

* We will promote sustainable tourism by traveling responsibly ourselves.

* We will use environmentally friendly products, minimize our waste, use water sparingly, choose ethical tour operators, and stay in sustainable hotels, resorts, and lodges as much and as often as possible.
