12 Countries, 24 Hours using only Scheduled Transport - A World Record
This is the story of my attempt to beat the world record for the number of countries visited in a single 24 hour period using only scheduled transport.
The world record, last set in 1993, was 11 countries.
I started in Perl, Germany, on 25th May 2016 at 7:01am (CEST) and travelled through Luxembourg, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. I finished in Austria, country 12, at 6:53am on 26th May 2016, 23 hours and 52 minutes from the time I started and therefore setting a new world record.
During the course of the record attempt, I raised an incredible £1000 for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity.
More information about the record attempt can be found on my website,

Visiting Slovakia - Part 2
This is the second half of our trip to visit our long-lost relatives (100 years!) in Slovakia. You have to go to believe how wonderful the people are.
ROAD TO BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA!
I've decided to go on a great journey to Bratislava, Slovakia to visit the hated & loved event TechMatch 2015 and also to meet up with some of my friends and colleagues who live there. This first episode is mostly about me getting from point A to point B, but I hope you gonna find it amusing. And yes, don't worry... it contains food!
Where to order Pizza in Bratislava:
The one I ordered was from Andy's Pizza and it's name was 1x Salsiccia Piccante ∅ 32cm = 4,90 €

Poprad, Slovakia
SEE MY TRAVEL GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
Poprad (Hungarian: Poprád, German: Deutschendorf) is a city in northern Slovakia at the foot of the High Tatra Mountains famous for its picturesque historic centre and as a holiday resort. It is the biggest town of the Spiš region and the tenth largest city in Slovakia with a population of approximately 55,000 people.
The Poprad-Tatry Airport is an international airport located just outside the city. Poprad is also the starting point of the Tatra Electric Railway (known in Slovak as Tatranská elektrická železnica), a set of special narrow-gauge trains connecting the resorts in the High Tatras with each other and with Poprad. Main line trains link Poprad to other destinations in Slovakia and beyond; in particular, there are through trains running from Poprad to Prague in the Czech Republic.
The territory belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary since the 10th century and was probably originally inhabited by Slavic settlers. It was colonized in the 13th century by German settlers and became the largely German town Deutschendorf meaning 'Germans' village'. From 1412 to 1770, as one of the Szepes towns, Poprad was pawned by the Kingdom of Hungary to the Kingdom of Poland, resulting in a strong Polish influence on the city's further development.
Poprad itself, the first written reference to which dates from 1256, was for 690 years (up until 1946) just one of several neighbouring settlements, which currently make up the modern city. The other parts of the current municipality are Matejovce (first reference 1251), Spišská Sobota (1256), Veľká (1268), and Stráže pod Tatrami (1276). The most significant of these original towns was Georgenberg (or Szepesszombat, now: Spišská Sobota), which preserved its dominant position in the area until the late 19th century.
In 1999, Poprad put in a bid to host the 2006 Winter Olympics, but lost to Turin, Italy.
Poprad lies at an altitude of 672 metres above sea level. Poprad is situated on the Poprad River in the Sub-Tatra Basin, and is a gateway to the High Tatras. Mountain ranges around the city include the Levoča Hills in the east, Kozie chrbty in the south, and the Low Tatras in the southwest. The drainage divide between the Black Sea and Baltic Sea lies a bit to the west, near the village of Štrba.
Poprad lies in the north temperate zone and has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) with four distinct seasons. It is characterised by a significant variation between warm summers and cold winters.
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced over 2,100 original films.
My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects.

I am very fortunate that I can spend a large part of my life travelling, thanks to the business I chose to run which allows me to do this. There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
