My Name Is Gustav And I’ve Been to +130 Countries As A 27-Year Old

Posted on November 21, 2018

Hi Guys!

My name is Gustav Rosted, a regular guy from Denmark, who has travelled to +120 countries by the age of 26 and I’m now on +130 countries as a 27-year old.. All from few days to 5 months in each country.

On average I’ve had 5-12 days in the countries I’ve been to and I want to visit all of them before I’m 32 years old.

On Gus1thego.com I will share with you some of my finest travel hacks! I want you to know that you can actually do the same… If you really want to!

I’m not rich, my parents are not rich, but I’ve chosen traveling as my 1. priority! Before things like an expensive car with nice rims, material stuff in general (except for clothes – I love fashion!), and before going out in town getting drunk Thursday-Saturday in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I’m based. Traveling actually doesn’t have to be expensive. It’s all about priorities… About the choices you make!

I’ve done everything from sleeping in a cold stone house, in a small local village in Western Uganda, with hens on the inside, (at a Ugandan guy I randomly met few hours before), to splashing out big time on a suite in Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. And yep, the hair was a bit longer back then! 😉

Small parts of my travels

I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, swam with sharks in Maldives, visited North Korea and Iraq, was nearly shot in Rio De Janeiro, got attacked by gangsters in Belize, by incident entered Syria illegally, was hold back in detention for hours in Israel, was in a fight with a taxi driver in Belarus and was rejected entrance to Rwanda after a 15 hours bus drive from Uganda, so 15 hours back again….

And yet still, I love all the ups and downs about travelling, and I want to visit as many countries in the World in a proper way, which is my ultimate lifetime dream! To Explore The World.

I am happy to share my experiences with you guys, and hopefully it will motivate you to pack your bags, get out of your comfort zone and start traveling more. That’s my Nr. 1 Biggest Goal!
