Having already become the first Irish person to visit every country in the world, Galway-born travel blogger and adventurer Johnny Ward has set his sights on an even bigger challenge.The 39-year-old is in the process of trying to become the first person ever to visit every country, journey to the North and South Poles and climb the Seven Summits - the highest mountains of each of the seven traditional continents.
"I just wanted really to show people from working-class backgrounds and people who didn't got to private school and didn't come from rich families that they can do cool stuff too. The world's there for all of us." "So, the actual mountain wasn't the hardest mountain but it was the closest I've ever been to death. God, it gives me goosebumps even talking about it now."
