Preparation time

Travelling through 12 countries takes quite a bit of planning, especially when you have a certain task to complete in each one. Let me show you what I mean, these are the 12 countries and tasks I'll be travelling through.

1. Laos
I and other members of the Dragonfly team will be visiting a small remote village in Laos to deliver food, clothes and other supplies, that the locals are in need of.

2. China
My next challenge will be to try and find a Chinese person who is taller than me. With a height of 6ft, this could be quite a feat for me in China!

3. Mongolia
In Mongolia, they have a special way of singing, which involves using just their throats. I will have to find a Mongolian folk group to teach me this unique way of singing, and then translate the song “I’m a Little Teapot” into Mongolian for me to sing.

4. Russia
In this sometimes bitterly cold country, they are famous for there hot saunas and ice cold baths. Here, I will take part in the tradition by taking a hot sauna, followed by leaping into an icy cold lake!

5. Estonia
Accompanied by a photograph of a mystery monument, I will set off with the aim of locating the statue, and having a photo of myself taken next to it. Also, I'll have to take part in the famous Estonian hobby of bog walking.

6. Latvia
Here, I'll go to the Latvian National Theatre with the aim to perform a ballet dance that will be taught to me, wearing full Baryshnikov leotard and all!

7. Lithuania
I have been given the task of finding ‘Zappa’ in Lithuania. It is up to me to use my own knowledge and the help of the locals to locate this mystery object / person.


8. Poland
Physically quite an easy task for; simply to lay flowers at Auschwitz but hopefully, I'll also be able to find somebody who knows a little bit about the history to talk to about it.

9. Germany
I have changed the old challenge of the world record attempt to the UK, as it will hopefully be a grande finale to the trip. The new challenge I have selected for Germany is to get photographed with someone very famous.

10. Holland
With Holland being a relatively flat country, this task is a bit of a joke. I've got to find the highest peak; most likely a small hill; and drive down it in a go-cart with wheels made out of edam cheese.

11. Belgium.
In Belgium, I'll have to walk on water. Hopefully this task will be easier than it sounds, I'll either be inside a huge, inflated ball, or on giant skis although I have been warned about the possibility of being washed out to sea.

12. France
My challenge in France is to appear on National T.V, how I go about this is up to me, to be honest I haven't got a clue - but I need the video as proof!


England
The Grand Finale will be a world record attempt in London, sometime in October we will be trying to break the world records for "The World's biggest pillow fight" and "Longest Mexican wave" so if you are around come and join us and be a record breaker.

For all of my tasks I'll have photo and video footage as proof. After each country I'll update my blog and website with pics, video and a diary.
