Michael Angelo Zervos, an American commercial film director and producer, is about to embark on an epic adventure. Armed only with a backpack and his trusty camera, he's set to journey to every country on the planet.
His mission, aptly named Project Kosmos is no ordinary journey. It's an attempt to break the World Record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe. The record stands at 554 days, and Michael aims to beat it by completing his journey in under 542 days. That's some serious globe-trotting right there!
But what sets Project Kosmos apart from your average record-breaking expedition? Let’s find out more about Michael and his epic journey that kicks off in January 2024.
The heartwarming mission of Project Kosmos
There's more to Project Kosmos than speed and mileage. Instead of just visiting every country in the world, Michael has a unique and inspiring twist to his adventure. Along the way, he plans to interview people from every country he visits, asking them a simple yet profound question:
What is the happiest moment of your life?
Can you imagine the incredible stories and insights he'll gather from people all around the world? Michael aims to create content that captures the essence of joy and happiness from diverse cultures, showcasing the common thread that binds us all - our pursuit of happiness.
But here's the kicker: Michael isn't doing this for fame or fortune. Nope, his primary goal is about the experience and the impact he can create.
