Around the world in 15 months

 Two guys on a scooter with a sidecar traveled 34,000 miles around the world and made the Guinness Book of World Records

Two young British dudes, Matt Bishop and Reece Gilkes, are now in the latest edition of the Guinness Book of World Records after they completed a round the world trip on a small scooter with a homemade side car. The two young men had never driven a motorcycle before and knew nothing about mechanics. They relied on the kindness of strangers and asked for support for anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking charities. According to the United Press International:


"We knew we would struggle and that was the point. The idea was to see how far we could get with only very little money and the help of complete strangers," Bishop told the Banbury Guardian.
The pair said people around the world opened up their homes to them during their journey and some strangers even came to their rescue when they ended up in dangerous situations.
The trip, which spanned 35 countries and five continents, raised $9,800 for various anti-slavery and anti-human trafficking charities.
