Guinness World Record "The Longest Road Trip Ever"

In 16 July 2014, the longest driven journey that was made is 692,227 km (430,130 miles) and was acheived by a couple which is Emil and Liliana Schmid (Switzerland) who has travelled across 180 countries in the same Toyota Land Cruiser in a journey that starts on 18 October 1984 and still ongoing until now.

Since then, they have logged thousand more miles, so the total was over 450,000 these days. The couple start way back in 1984 when they shipped their Toyota Land Cruiser from Iceland to New York.

In the first decade of the trip, they spent on touring North America before heading to South America and then to Africa, Australia, Asia and back to Europe. After 30 years, the couple is still racking up the miles.

Their journey started simple enough when Emil convinced Liliana to leave Switzerland and explore the world. She tought that would be a maximum of 2 years, but clearly the travel bug took hold of them in full force and they have never looked back.
