Yasik Smirnoff has been traveling for exactly three years and nine months.
In that time, the 21-year-old has visited to a total of 107 countries.
Smirnoff left his parent's home in Siberia when he was 15 years old to go study at university. Three years later, he was married, had started his own business, and was living in Hong Kong.
That's when Smirnoff started to ask himself what else was there in life? He had already achieved what people often perceive as success, but he wanted to build experiences and challenge himself.
After getting divorced, he decided to set out on a journey.

When Smirnoff set out on his journey, he was 18 years old, didn't have much experience with travel, and spoke only Russian and Chinese.
He now refers to himself as the "Ruso Loco," or the crazy Russian. There's no place he won't go or nothing he won't try. Here he is with locals on an island that lies 200 km from Australia.
Smirnoff stayed in a rural village near the Omo Valley in Ethiopia for 10 days living with the Bodi, an indigenous tribe. While there, he says he also — accidentally — swam in a lake with crocodiles, which he says was a terrifying experience.
