I Travelled Around The Entire Earth With $0
B1
I'm about to go through every continent in the
world without spending any money,
starting right here in the UK.
And the only rules are. [The Rules]
I can't spend any of my own money. [No money]
If I go as far as even touching money,
I fail. [FAIL]
And I've got to travel around the whole earth
touching all seven continents in 30 days. [Day counting to 30]
[Day counting to 30]
The timer begins the moment I leave the UK. [30 days]
We're not starting here. No. [London Heathrow Airport]
No, we're going to be starting in the hardest way possible.
Get a private jet for free. [Private Airport]
We're really relying on the kindness of strangers.
And I'm doing this to restore my faith in humanity. [ME]
And hopefully some rich billionaire can get us off to a good start.
Hello.
Oh, never mind.
Everybody was ignoring me.
The odds of this actually working are very low, [1%]
because not too many flights take off from this place. [70 flights per day!]
And on top of that, people who take these jets
are very private.
So why would they let me on there?
And to make matters worse, the security was
already coming over to tell me off. [Security]
[Security] This is all private property this.
Yeah, so I'll just film here, yeah?
- Over there will do mate yeah. - That's fine.
Perfect, perfect. Thank you, my friend.
There we go. We're already in trouble.
After a while, I managed to get a car to stop.
Hello, guys.
I have a dream to travel around the world.
That won’t- That won’t happen my friend.
You sure?
Yeah, yeah, 100%.
Please, please.
All right.
I tried to not let his negativity get me down,
but it was all everyone kept saying to me.
Ah that’s not gonna happen man.
It won’t happen in a private airport.
It won't happen?
No.
The amount of people telling me that this is
impossible is actually extraordinary.
So I guess we have to prove them wrong.
Hi.
Never mind.
Maybe these people were right.
Maybe this genuinely wasn't possible, and to kick
me while I was down, they called the police on me.
The police are on their way because we’ve asked you.
We’ve said you can’t be in this bit and you’re still there.
They’re just gonna come and have a word with you.
The police can do that, but I'm not breaking any rules.
Thanks for calling the police.
I appreciate it. I already have their number.
20 minutes into this challenge, and the police
are already on their way.
Great.
You alright? [Undercover Police]
Hello.
Is everything OK? [Undercover Police]
Yeah. What’s happening? [Undercover Police]
Basically, I have a dream to travel around the whole world.
Right. [Right]
With no money.
OK.
You're going to have issues at a private airport.
A pilot’s never going to turn around to you and
say yes.
The airport's never going to say yes.
Once they finished crushing my dreams, I decided
to head to a different private jet terminal, and
people weren't even stopping for me here.
Oh, I'm fed up with this.
I don't suppose you have any knowledge on how
I could get on a flight for free.
Do you think it's possible?
No. Impossible.
Impossible?
Yeah. See you later.
You've given me all the motivation I need.
I was determined to prove this woman and everyone
else who told me it was impossible wrong.
So we decided to change tactics
and headed to a flight school [Blackbushe Aviation Centre]
to speak directly to the pilots instead.
Hello.
You alright?
Yes, pleasure to meet you.
Right now, we're doing a documentary.
We're trying to travel around the world, so I'm
wondering if there's any opportunity of us flying
out from here, if there's any way.
I was planning a flight, I might be able to take you.
Oh, my gosh. - To France.
- To France. That would be absolutely perfect.
I knew that coming here was a good move.
One conversation, and we'd already found a pilot
willing to take us.
Now, they just needed to organise a plane.
This is absolutely incredible.
I can't believe this.
What's his name?
Harry.
You know Harry? He's a legend.
Harry's doing his best to make this happen.
It might happen. It might happen.
Tomorrow is more likely.
You guys aren’t gonna get anything tonight.
The airport closes in…
Half an hour.
27 minutes.
Yeah.
So, it wasn't going to be possible tonight, but
the next day was looking very promising.
Really, really appreciate the help. - You’re welcome.
Thank you. Thank you so much. - Hopefully it all goes as planned.
- Thank you.
See you tomorrow.
Thank you. Thank you.
Bye.
We've built a lot there.
I believe now tomorrow we'll be flying, and then we can properly get this started.
I don't see why not.
It seems doable.
My friend, I really appreciate you.
Thank you.
Tonight, I'll just check the weather and everything.
Perfect. Perfect. Thank you. - Okay.
No worries. - Thank you.
So, we had a flight pretty much guaranteed for the next day.
All we needed was a spare plane, and this place is full of planes.
Like, what are the chances that I literally airfield can't find one single spare plane?
I don't think it's going to happen.
You don't think?
No.
The plane's gone.
It was due to come back from a check.
It's something to do at the starter motor.
The plane they'd found to fly me into Europe
today was broken, meaning we were back at square
one, but this training centre was huge.
So, I started asking around for anyone who could
help me get into Europe for free.
I spoke to this guy.
He told me to go and chat to him.
He told me to go and talk to her.
He sent me over here to talk to him, who
put me in touch with him, who put us on this.
We're still not on there.
Get sent.
That's right.
I must have spoken to every person in this place,
and not one of them could help me get on
a plane for today.
It's looking really bad, and if we don't get out
of the country, this video doesn't begin.
Then, we bumped into this lady who'd heard about
what I was trying to do.
I'm actually going to Spain tomorrow morning.
Are you?
Yeah.
So, you have a spare seat tomorrow?
I'll have to ask my husband, so we have a PC-12.
I wonder if there's one here.
Yeah, you see that a nice gold one?
So, we own one of those aircrafts.
Oh my goodness.
This woman just so happens to own a mental
private jet, but I wasn't getting my hopes up too
high, because I didn't want my dreams to be
shattered once again.
We exchanged numbers anyway, so that she could
let me know what her husband thought of the idea.
And it’s Karen. I’m an actual Karen.
You don't seem like it, Karen.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.
If that came through, it would be insane, but I
couldn't bank on it, so I made some calls to
a couple other airfields to see if they had a plane for me.
No, wo don’t unfortunately.
No sorry.
No is the answer basically.
This is hell, man.
I was starting to consider whether this was even possible.
My only hope now lied with Karen.
[Karen: Hi Niko, just spoken with my husband and it’s all good for you to join us tomorrow.]
Oh my goodness me. [Call me when you can.]
I've just got a text from Karen.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, we've got one.
Hello?
Thank you so much, Karen. Thank you.
That’s a pleasure yeah.
That's so amazing. Thank you so much, Karen.
Not at all. I’ll speak to you later thank you. Bye bye now.
Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
Bye bye.
Oh, I'm having a sneezing fit, but that is amazing news.
We're gonna...
You know, we've had so much bad news, I've become
allergic to good news.
We've now got a jet for free out of the country.
And you know what, we're not taking one of these nice little planes.
We're gonna take a plane that looks like that one over there.
Goodness me.
That’s outrageous.
Where the hell are we gonna stay in Girona?
That was a problem for future me, because current me
had a private jet to catch. [The Next day]
Hello.
I'm Ernie.
Niko.
Pleasure to meet you.
Honestly, thank you so much for agreeing to take us.
I met Karen's husband, Ernie, and said hello to
Karen herself.
I can't believe this is happening.
I think it’s absolutely bonkers.
As you've got to do all of this with no
money, I'm gonna quickly go to the cafe and see
if they'll give me any free snacks on my journey.
You never know what you can get.
I'm about to travel the world with no money.
Is there any snack I could possibly get for the
journey for free?
What do you want?
Oh my gosh, a sausage roll, please.
Thank you.
Heated up, yeah?
Yes, please. Yes, please.
That's amazing.
What a start.
Sausage roll in hand, we headed off to the jet.
What the hell. We’re about to get on this plane.
And like I said, this wasn't just any old plane.
This was a serious private jet, which cost me a
grand total of zero pounds. [£00.00]
Thank you so much.
Oh my gosh, I can't believe you've let us come
on here for free with you guys.
- It’s no problem. - So thank you so much.
- I just like you guys. Entrepreneurial spirit.
Honestly, you don't understand what you've done for us here.
My friends, we are taking off right now.
So many people told us that this was impossible.
You think it's possible?
No. Impossible.
That won’t happen my friend.
Are you sure?
Yeah, yeah, 100%.
Please, please.
They said that this would not happen.
Ah that’s not gonna happen man.
It won’t happen in a private airport.
So look outside right now, the plane is taking off.
We are leaving the UK.
Oh my gosh.
We've done it!
We have left the UK for free.
Thanks to the kindness of Ernie and Karen.
Thank you very much, Ernie.
You're an absolute legend.
Goodbye.
Goodbye, UK.
From this point on, we have 30 days remaining [30 days]
to travel the entire world.
And now that we're up in the sky, it seems
like a good time to let you know the rules
of this challenge.
No money can be spent or even touched in any continent. [RULES]
That covers food, shelter, travel. [1. No money can be spent or even touched in any continent.]
It covers everything. [1. No money can be spent or even touched in any continent.]
I can only depart each continent from a different country
than the one I started in. [2. Leave each continent from a different country than the one you entered.]
So we started in the UK and we're currently going to Spain
where we will be able to leave Europe.
And we must, of course, visit all seven
continents within the 30 day time limit. [30 days to visit all seven continents (start and end in the UK).]
And now for the challenges. [Challenges]
I must enjoy an experience in each continent. [1. Enjoy an experience in each continent]
I must eat a meal native to each continent. [2. Eat a meal native to each continent]
I must photograph an animal in every continent. [3. Photograph an animal native to the continent.]
And I must play a game with strangers in every [4. Play a game with strangers]
continent and attempt to become a world champion. [4. Play a game with strangers]
And I also have to share a bag of Shades,
my sweets, in every continent too. [5. Share a bag of Shades]
And once we complete all of these challenges,
our flight to the next continent will be unlocked,
as we would have achieved our goal of travelling through that continent with no money.
This challenge is going to be very difficult, very tough, but I believe we can do it.
Don't you think, Ernie?
Absolutely.
When Karen told you about this, why did you agree
to let us on this flight?
Because I just love guys who show that the world
is like an amazing place.
There is community.
Yes.
And there's friendship.
Exactly.
And we're fellow human beings.
Exactly.
I feel like now so many people don't want to talk to each other.
And what can happen if you do end up having these conversations?
It's amazing.
As I chatted to Karen and Ernie, I found out
that they're actually a rally motorsport duo.
I'm not lying.
This is literally Karen in the passenger seat.
Forty to left, ... to right.
Instructing Ernie where to go.
And the reason they were heading to Girona was
for a rally car competition and had a test drive
the next morning.
Would you like to be in that rally car?
Oh my gosh.
I'd love to be in the rally car.
That would be...
Oh, thank you so much.
Oh, this is...
Too much has happened in a while.
If that goes ahead, that's going to be perfect
for our Experience Challenge.
Why are you guys so nice?
We’re Irish.
Because she wants to prove she's not a Karen.
There we go. Yeah, exactly.
You've already proved it.
What a ridiculous scenario I'm in.
Look at us having the time of our lives as
we slowly approached our destination.
And if you're thinking it can't get any crazier
than this, just watch what happened next.
You guys probably are going to think this isn't
legit, but I'm telling you right now, somehow it is.
I'll keep you guys safe.
Thank you for putting this trust in me.
Hello, my friend. Can I come join you?
Yeah, sure.
I'm too big.
That's it.
Oh my gosh.
My friend.
Hiya.
There’s a headset in there.
That's a headset.
People were telling me that it would be
impossible for me to get on a private jet without
spending any money, but now I'm flying a private
jet without spending any money.
How about that?
Don’t push.
Oh, don't push, don't push.
After nearly nose diving the plane, we had to prepare for landing.
Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen,
please listen in.
We should be landing safely very soon.
Ernie and Karen had put their trust in me not
to kill them and land safely.
Oh, we're turning.
We're turning.
I wish that was me, but I'm not actually turning
the plane right now.
The autopilot is moving my hands and it's making the plane move right in front of me.
You concentrating?
No, I'm locked in. I'm locked in.
I've never seen a landing from this perspective before.
There's so many lights.
Here we go.
We're landing!
I'm landing a plane! I'm landing a plane!
Oh, oh my gosh.
Here we go. Here we go. Oh, wow. Oh, wow.
We're still flying. We're still flying. We're still flying.
Stall. Stall.
Stall?
Stall.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, my gosh. We're landing.
We landed?
Have we landed?
That was us, though. That was us.
I maybe carried a little bit.
Oh, yeah. Let's keep my eyes on the road.
Oh, wow.
I just landed a plane.
I co-landed a plane.
I held as the autopilot landed the plane. - You did it man.
- That was me. I did that.
We'd officially made it off of British soil and [Girona]
into Europe.
Starting from now, I had 30 days to travel [Day 1] [Girona]
through all seven continents without spending
a penny and make it back home to the UK.
No more messing around. The clock was ticking.
Here we are.
We left home for real now.
This is where it gets serious.
We've got so much, which we still have to do
here in Spain before we can even leave.
Ernie and Karen paid for a taxi to drop me
off at their motorhome, which they were kindly
letting me stay in for the night.
Oh, wow.
Very nice.
We have our own place to stay tonight.
But we'll tour this later.
Let's get into Girona.
And hitchhiking was the only way.
[Girona Amigo]
Yeah, they're all shaking their head.
Then someone finally stopped for us.
Are you able to take me into Girona?
No not at the moment. We're going here.
Oh, OK.
Sorry. 15 minutes?
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
He said he's going to take us in 15 minutes.
That's amazing news.
And like he promised, 15 minutes later, the man returned.
What's your name?
Tobias.
Do you think there's a chance you could take us into Girona?
Yeah.
Tobias kindly took us into the centre of Girona.
Good luck on your trip.
Thank you, Tobias.
Really, thank you so much for picking us up.
I really appreciate it a lot.
Here would be the best place to take off some of my challenges.
But first of all, I was looking for a drink.
What is free in Spanish?
[Free] [Gratis]
Gratis. [Free] [Gratis]
After my quick lesson, it was time to put my
new Spanish skills to use.
Hola. [Hello]
I'm currently doing a music video about getting
free hot chocolate.
Is it possible to get a hot chocolate for free?
Gratis. [Free]
Si. [Yes.]
Gracias, mi amigo. [Thank you, my friend]
Gracias, gracias. [Thank you Thank you]
As easy as that, I was able to quench my thirst.
But now I was on the hunt for some food
to take off my Native Food Challenge.
I walked the whole of Girona in search for a
local dish and saw some glorious parts of the
city on my journey.
It was truly amazing.
But then I came across something which distracted me.
That's not a creperie.
That's not a creperie.
This is my favourite food in the world.
Hello.
Hello.
I'm currently making a music video about what I
can get for free.
I'm just wondering if there's any possible way I
could get something for free from this shop.
You want a sweet crepe?
Yes, that would be amazing.
What an unbelievable place.
Kind shop owners like this are going to be my
best friend during this challenge.
Oh, thank you so much.
Legends. Thank you.
I genuinely can’t believe you got a crepe.
You're eating better than me today.
I don't make the rules.
Oh, wait. Yeah you do.
I do make the rules.
But I still needed to find a native food to
complete my challenge.
Would it be possible to get anything for free here?
One meal?
This?
This will do.
Thank you.
Here we go.
I secured myself some local Spanish tapas.
Tapas is typically served complimentary with a
drink.
And that's because it originated centuries ago
when people would use a piece of bread to cover
their drinks to stop flies from landing in their cup.
They then started decorating these slices of
bread with different toppings and tapas was born.
The word tapa literally translates to the word lid. [Tapa] [Lid]
Cool facts with Niko. [Tapa] [Lid]
A decent dish.
Never had anything like it before.
To be honest, this is not for me.
I polished off the tapas anyways, taking off my
first challenge here in Europe.
But I was still rather hungry.
On to the next spot.
I was turned away from a few places, but this
place Lapsus were up for giving me a free meal.
As long as I made a promotional video for them.
Take a seat, give you the menu and take out like the videos.
Oh, amazing.
In exchange for this food, we're doing a
promotional video for Lapsus.
This is going to be me as a director.
For this to work, I was going to need to
use my best Spanish.
Director, video, Lapsus, we get shot of you.
These guys couldn't wait to be in the promo video.
Watch the football.
And then when I say goal, you celebrate.
One, two, three, go!
Your team has just conceded a goal.
You're sad.
Damn it! No!
Uno dos tres. Go.
More angry, more angry.
Here we go. Goal!!!
One, two, three, goal!
Goal!
Anger, anger.
Now cry, cry.
Perfect, guys.
Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect.
Now, George, we've just got a few cinematic shots
and I think we're good.
I think that's a perfect promotional video.
Welcome to Lapsus.
Come and see the great game.
Win.
Or lose.
All are winners in Lapsus, the best place in Girona. [Lapsus]
That masterpiece earned me a burger and chips,
which filled my stomach up quite nicely.
But then I had to somehow find a way back
to the motorhome.
Can anybody drive?
Are you able to help us get to our motorhome?
I think no.
They definitely thought that I was some murderer
in the night.
Do you have a car?
Please give us a lift to our motorhome.
Yeah, we're going to be here for a long time.
We are going to be here for a long time.
Hey.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
We live 10 minutes from here in our motorhome.
Can you drive us to our motorhome?
One hour for my girls.
He's saying that he wants to stay with us a
little bit longer and then he brings you to home.
You take us?
Yeah.
But you're not drunk? - No problem.
No, no, he's not drunk.
It's 0%.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you.
One hour.
Can I get your number?
Yeah, 622...
The number he gave me said it was registered to Indonesia.
This guy was clearly trying to send me, but
I was prepared for moments like this.
Because of the language barrier, I predicted that
I might struggle to connect with people here.
So a few hours earlier, I changed my lock screen
to a picture of me and famous footballer Jamal
Musiala to make people think I was crazy famous.
And hopefully they'd want to help me out.
But would this work?
You know him?
Yes, he's a good player.
Musiala is a good player in the FIFA.
He's a top.
He's so good. He's so good. Yeah, yeah.
This is my telephone, 61...
And after seeing Musiala, he gave me his real
phone number.
You drive us?
Yeah, I drive.
Go.
Respect, brother.
No money.
This guy was mental.
He straight up lied to me, and I was going
to let him take me home.
I'll see you in...
Yeah, yeah, one hour.
One hour. I'm back.
One thing which I've never liked in this world is
name dropping.
But the moment I name dropped Musiala, he went
from giving me a fake number to giving me his
real number.
The first number was registered to Indonesia.
And now he's going to take us in one hour.
While we wait for this car to be ready, we're
going to find an animal.
Animals were hard to come by in this place, so
I had to take whatever I could get.
Our first animal, the malar.
What an animal.
Hopefully as the continents go on, my pictures get better.
And after an hour of waiting around for this
psycho, I was hoping he was ready to give me that lift home.
My friend.
It's not possible.
Huh?
He was now telling me it wasn't possible to give me a lift.
It's not possible.
Yeah, he sent me a little bit.
So he told me he'd drive me home, but now
he's telling me that he can't do it.
It's not possible.
So you waste my time.
Yes.
My friend.
You drive?
Yeah.
I've got no idea what happened here, but all of
a sudden they were up for it again.
Come on.
You drive us?
Yes.
Yeah.
Gracias.
But this guy kept messing me around.
No, it's not possible.
It's too…
It's ten minutes.
No, no. It's 50 minutes.
Huh? No, it's 12 minutes.
No, no. It's not real.
Mi amigo.
Please save me from this waffler.
Your friend here is big waffler.
Don't worry.
- Gracias. - It's no problem.
There was at least one sensible person in this
group and we headed to the car.
This guy's definitely violated me.
I can tell.
But if it means I can get home, then I'll take it.
This your car?
Yes.
Oh, there's room.
Thank you guys.
How long are we taking?
10 minutes.
Why is the camera recording me all the time?
Dude, seriously don’t crash or…
If we crash, besides killing you it would kill the celebrity bro.
This celebrity sucks my dick bro.
Yeah he doesn’t even have enough for a taxi.
I don't think they realise that everything
afterwards, so they are talking about me,
I will know and I will have something to say about it.
And he continued talking about us as there was a
mix up with the directions.
The dude’s taking us to Barcelona.
No no are you kidding me?
You leave them nearby or I’ll stab him. We’ll leave them here.
George and I were enjoying the nice journey,
blissfully unaware of the death threats being
made towards us.
Dude, they tricked us. They want to take us to Barcelona.
No no no just head nearby, eh. Or I’ll get violent in here.
It was a simple 10 minute journey.
I don't know why they started thinking I was tricking them.
It doesn't make any sense.
Girona Or I’ll throw fists eh? - Haven't got Gogle Maps.
Here I am lying in the trunk like a pig. And this guy’s sitting here all fancy you know?
The pig in the back soon changed his attitude
towards us after finding out exactly who I was.
What is your name, my friend?
Champagne Papi.
Champagne Papi?
This your Instagram?
Yes. Champagne Papi.
Yes, yes.
Yes.
F**k! 143 million.
Millions.
F**.
Yeah, I know, I know.
My friend!
How did you start?
So I started with making some albums.
So I made a few albums.
It's you!
Yes.
You are not paying for taxi?
Yeah, yeah. I know, I know.
Luckily, we made it back to the campervan alive,
mainly thanks to Drake and his large Instagram following.
On three, everyone, Champagne Papi.
Three, two, one.
Champagne Papi.
Nice to meet you, my friend.
Thank you. Thank you.
There we go.
All right. Well, I mean, we managed to get back.
Home sweet home.
This whole day has been nuts and it's only going to get crazier.
So I'm going to get some sleep right now.
And I'm pretty sure that Ernie has a surprise for us in the morning.
So let's see what happens then.
[Day 2 Girona]
It's currently seven in the morning and as you can tell we’re on the roads. [Day 2 Girona]
I'd say the sleep here was very nice.
I had a nice shower.
And now James is taking us to our experience. [James, Ernie’s friend]
And of course, that experience was a ride in Ernie's rally car.
I'm about to go in that thing.
Sounds very loud.
Oh, now it's quiet.
Here we go.
You don't even know what's in store for you.
This has got to be mental.
Fire extinguisher on?
Why on earth would we need a fire extinguisher?
I didn't quite realise how dangerous of a
situation I was putting myself in.
You’re great at building up suspense Ernie. I have to say that.
Oh, I'm really bad at it.
It's far worse than you think it's going to be.
Just to make things even more dangerous, Ernie
headed up to some winding cliff edge roads for us
to start properly.
Just so you know, this is an experience worth
£100 and I'm getting it for free just off a
random conversation I've had with someone at a
flight school in London.
Here we go.
So me and Ernie are about to get going.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Oh, my.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, gosh.
What happened?
Sorry.
So me and Ernie about to get going.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Oh gosh.
I've never gone this fast in my life.
I've never gone this fast in my life.
How has this happened in this video?
I was not expecting an experience like this.
Oh, my God.
This was mental.
Just two days ago, I didn't think I was even
going to make it out of England for free and
now I was being driven around the Catalan
countryside at 100 miles per hour in a rally car.
You know how ridiculous that is?
We are so fast, Ernie.
You’re so quick. I can see the ocean as well.
That's it.
There we are.
We did it.
Oh, my God.
There we are. How was that?
That was incredible.
I know your rules are really, really strict on
having an experience in every continent.
So, I just want to double check.
Did that pass the standard?
Oh, 100%.
You have passed my test and you're not a wimp.
I'm not a wimp. Okay, amazing.
Yeah, you're not a wimp.
Oh, my gosh.
That was certainly something.
Jump out already?
Yeah, yeah.
Are you able to? Do you need a hand?
I'm all right, Ernie. I'm all good.
That's how European experience ticked off.
Still without a penny spent and that was mainly thanks to Karen and Ernie.
They've helped me out so much so far in this
video, but now it's time to say goodbye.
Bring it in.
I really, really appreciate what you guys have done.
And will you admit us to full membership of the NDL?
Yes, 100%.
I'll send you guys one of these in the post.
You had the idea and you were fully up for
it and I think that just shows how amazing you are as people.
One of the reasons why I'm doing all of this
is what I'm calling the Sweet for Everyone.
Wow.
So, I wanted to see if you guys would be up for giving it a go.
Wow, those are lovely.
Yeah, you like it, yeah?
Excellent.
Oh, this tastes, I'm sure, as good as that ride
in that rally car tasted for you.
And now feels like a good time for me to tell you this.
We're going to be giving back every bit of generosity we receive.
The total value of all acts of kindness across every continent
will be doubled
and will be equally donated to a charity from each continent.
when we land back home.
So, without people even knowing, every act of
kindness they give will have a lasting effect,
including Karen and Ernie who have no idea that
their kindness has contributed to our current
count of £18,796.
Mental.
That private jet really holds some weight and
their generosity didn't stop there.
I have one more favour before we go.
What's that?
I saw there was a bunch of waters.
Water?
Waters. Is it alright to take the waters?
- Go for it, go for it. - It's in the fridge.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my gosh, thank you.
While they were enjoying the delicious Shades,
now seemed like the perfect time to capitalise as
this challenge was only going to get harder and
having water to drink over the next month was not guaranteed.
Is this alright to take, yeah?
No problem.
Have a great trip and your transport to the train
station awaits you.
Thank you guys.
I said my final goodbyes to the legends Karen and
Ernie and they'd even sorted my transport to the
train station and bought me a train ticket into Barcelona.
All because they believed in what I was doing.
Absolute heroes.
We're currently en route to Barcelona and the
reason we're going to Barcelona is because
there's an airport in Barcelona so it's the best
way for us to go to Africa.
And I'd unlock my flight to Africa as soon as
I completed all of my challenges in Europe [Europe]
without spending a penny. [Europe]
We currently have one thing left to do before we
can leave Europe and go to Africa and that is
to play a game and attempt to become world champion.
I'm also hoping to eat something though because I
haven't had a meal all day.
So as long as we can get things done soon,
we should be able to go to Africa and catch a flight today.
It's going to be tight, but let's do it.
Here we are.
Barcelona.
But unfortunately for me, we were still far from
the beach where there'd at least be some games going on. [Barcelina-Sants]
Hola, mi amigas. [Barcelona-Sants]
Can I come with you into Barcelona?
Can I come with you into Barcelona?
No.
So I decided to start the hour long walk to
the beach and I was trying to improve my Spanish along the way.
Hola, mi amigo. [Hello, my male friend]
Video gratis travel. [Video free travel]
Gratis? [Free?]
Uno gratis? [One free?]
No.
I need to up my Spanish.
You’re just saying words.
This bag is so heavy.
I'm very hungry and we really need to find
somewhere we can play a game.
I spoke to these girls who were really keen to
help me get to the beach.
They offered to give me money for a train ticket
but that would break the rules because I'm not
allowed to carry any money.
So instead, they found someone who was heading to
the train station and gave them the money to buy
the ticket for me.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Really appreciate that.
That's definitely a smart way around the rules.
You don't want to be filmed but what's your name?
Justine.
Yeah.
Justine kindly fulfilled her promise and bought us the train ticket.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
No you’ re welcome.
After a short journey, we made it to Barcelona's
centre and I only had one thing on my mind.
Look at that. The best food in the world apart Shades.
Crepes.
Hola. [Hello]
Ingles? [English?]
I'm doing a music video trying to get as much
free stuff as possible.
Can I get one free crepe?
One free crepe?
Yes.
Sure.
Thank you so much.
This lady right here, legend.
Oh, I haven't eaten anything all day.
Thank you. Goodbye.
The amount of crepes which I'm going for in this video is crazy.
I polished off my crepe as I headed to the beach.
We're here at Barcelona's Catalan beach. [Barcelona]
So we need to find someone playing a game here.
We also need to find a way to the airport after this.
You guys want a game?
Of what?
A challenge of volleyball?
Okay, we are down.
Listen, listen. It comes with a stipulation.
If I win the game, you guys have to book
me an Uber to the airport.
And if we win?
If you guys win, I'll do anything you guys want.
On second thoughts, I definitely didn't want to
put myself up for absolutely anything.
So I made them a new offer.
If you guys win, I'll write your names in the ground of Antarctica.
That's a good deal. Okay, okay.
Yeah, you're on that? That good?
What's your names?
Edi.
Api.
Edi and Api.
We are ready. We two but… Only against you?
I'll find a partner. Don't worry.
Okay.
I’m Brian by the way.
Brian, very nice to meet you.
So do you run this place here?
I'm a main organiser.
So you must be very good at volleyball.
I’m alright.
You see those guys behind me right there?
Yeah.
They have challenged me to a game.
If you can team up with me and we can
just beat these guys real quick, then they'll
take me to the airport and then I'm great.
Okay.
Yeah?
Easy.
Would you do that for me?
Easy.
Thank you, my friend.
You're very nice.
So the teams had been settled.
It was Api and Edi versus myself and volleyball expert Brian. [Api] [Edi] [me] [Brian]
This is my partner right here.
They've clocked, they've been shegged a little bit.
There's one flight to Africa and it's to South
Africa in about an hour and a half.
So if we don't win this now, then we won't
have any way to get to the airport.
You guys can serve first.
Oh let them serve.
Here we go.
1-0. There we go. Good start, guys.
I need this, bad.
Two!
Oh, I'm serious.
We're going to Africa.
I have completely lucked out and managed to pick the most useless pair to play against.
That's not fair.
We are bad volleyball players.
I know.
I'm locked in. I'm locked in. This is my spot.
Despite throwing away a couple of points towards the end,
Api gifted us yet another point before I stepped up to clinch the win.
Hey! Come on!
My brother!
Well played, well played, well played.
Well played.
We are going to Africa.
Come on! But before we go to Africa,
there's one more thing I want to do.
Here we go.
Into the water.
The Barcelona water. Oh my God.
Why is no one else in the water?
We have touched it.
We are on the edge.
The edge of Europe.
And now we head to Africa.
That's right.
All of my challenges in Europe had now been [Europe]
completed, which unlocked my flight to Africa. [Africa]
Oh, no.
That's deep.
Oh no, that's deep!
Back we go. Back we go. Back we go.
We've got a flight to catch.
I wouldn't go in there if I were you.
It was time for Api and Edi to fulfil their end of the deal.
They were about to help me out more than they'd
ever know and I felt bad not giving them anything back in return.
You know what, guys?
I'll still put your names in Antarctica.
Thank you very much!
Yeah? Still do that?
Thank you very much, bro.
My brother, my brother, my brother.
Really appreciate it, guys.
And as promised, they bought the cab for me.
Brothers, thank you so much.
You're welcome.
Thank you, thank you. Really appreciate it.
Thank you guys. Thank you.
What time do we get to the airport?
15 minutes.
We have until 5.20 for our flight.
We had left this so tight.
The car no flying.
Vamos, speed. Fast, fast, fast.
Okay.
This driver was a legend as he did his absolute
best to get us on that flight to Africa.
Gracias, mi amigo.
We literally have five minutes until our check-in
closes and I have to check in this bag because
if I don't, all those waters which I have will
be gone and those are genuinely going to be gold
dust over these next few days-weeks.
Thanks to our driver, we made it just in the nick of time.
Hola.
You would not believe the journey it's taken me to come here.
Yeah? Was too hard?
You wouldn't believe it.
I fuelled up on one of my waters before sending
my bags through.
With so many people and food spots around,
airports were the perfect place to stock up on
some free food, courtesy of some very kind
customers and staff.
Is there any of your food which we're going to
throw out which I can take for free?
Oh, wow. Thank you.
- You're welcome. - Thank you so much.
It's quite the feast.
And the feast didn't stop there.
Is there any chance I can get a free hot dog?
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I can take all this?
You can take it all.
Everything?
Yeah.
That's great.
One free hot dog and a few free pastries later,
it was time to board the flight to Africa.
And where were we going?
South Africa. [Lufthansa] [Cape Town] [Boarding]
And I was trying as hard as possible to make
a friend with another passenger who could help me
once we arrived.
Can I come with you and stay in your house?
No.
Because we can have a good time.
Not too good of a time but a good time.
I can stay on the sofa or a chair or a small chair or a toilet.
No? All good?
It's not a joke.
I wish you good luck.
And thanks to all the good luck this guy gave
me, I managed to meet Brahita.
How will you get out of the airport?
My boyfriend's picking me up.
Oh, your boyfriend's picking you up?
Yeah, if you want to go to the city,
we can drop you off.
Really?
Yeah.
You serious?
Why not?
I'll just ask him and if he says yes...
Yeah, as long as it's okay with him. - Why not?
Then that would be great.
I was hopefully all right into Cape Town from the
airport sorted but I still needed somewhere to stay for free.
So what's taking you to South Africa?
I meet my boyfriend there for the...
Four days?
No.
Four weeks?
No.
Four months?
No.
Four years?
Four...
Fourth time?
Yes.
Is there any space in you and your boyfriend's house?
No.
There must be a little chance.
No, there must be no chance. I'm sorry.
There has to be a little bit of a chance.
Nooo.
Well little bit of the chance.
No.
How about odds on?
We do odds on.
Say a number between one and ten.
If we say the same number, then you let me stay there.
One, two, three...
Zero.
We said the same number.
We said the same number.
I have to stay now.
I think there's no chance. No.
I think she was sick of me as we didn't
speak for the rest of the journey.
Here we are. [Cape Town]
South Africa. [Cape Town]
No, that sounded Australian.
South Africa.
South Africa was a whole new challenge altogether. [Day 3] [Cape Town]
Making it out of England for free was easy
compared to this.
Somehow I was going to need to make it to
a second African country without spending any money.
And remember, I've only got 27 days left to make [27 days]
it around all seven continents. [27 days]
So I couldn't afford to spend any longer than a
couple of days here in South Africa.
But for now, I just needed a way into Cape Town.
So I went and found Brahita and her boyfriend.
Hello, my friend.
Hello.
Very nice to meet you. - Arno.
- Niko, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, Niko.
You're getting a lift with us, I guess.
Oh, really?
Yes, let's go.
Is that okay?
Yeah.
You guys are legends. Thank you so much.
Welcome to Cape Town. [Welcome to the Mother City]
I'm very excited to be here. [Welcome to the Mother City]
The fact that these guys were willing to give me
a lift after just one conversation is so cool and
just shows what can happen if you just make
friends with random people.
They took us into the heart of Cape Town and
dropped us off at a cafe called The Power and the Glory.
I'm sure you'll meet some nice people.
Okay.
See how it goes. - Thank you.
You've got my number if you get stuck.
Thank you so much. - Bye.
All right.
Apparently, this is a social place where people might help us.
What brings you here today?
Working.
Eh? Working?
Have a great time working.
I'm not really good at making friends.
Hi, guys.
What are you doing in Cape Town?
We're currently doing a video where we're
travelling around the world with no money.
Anything you could recommend doing?
Yeah, do you want a lift ?
Company Gardens is a good place to go...
This guy just offered to take us to some cool
spots in Cape Town.
Jason.
Niko, very nice to meet you, my friend.
And while Jason finished up in the cafe, I waited outside.
So we're currently in Cape Town.
I'm eating my breakfast right now.
Which I got from the airport.
The hardest thing is going to be working our way out of here.
I finished off my free breakfast and it was time
to explore Cape Town with my new pal, Jason.
Big Jace!
How long are you guys here for?
At least one night.
And then?
And then we try and find somewhere else to go
in Africa.
Anywhere in Africa?
Anywhere that can get to Asia.
That's dope.
Jason kindly took us into the city centre and
told us about his friend who was having a boxing
match that night.
For real?
Yeah.
Oh sick, what time is it?
At seven.
Can we come?
Yeah, of course!
You see it says "Financial Services Fight Night" ?
Yeah.
This is one of the financial services in Vestec.
They're organising this big fight night to fight
against the other financial services.
Well, well, well.
This was music to my ears.
This is what I like to call a golden ticket.
A bunch of rich finance people all in one place.
Surely I could convince at least one of them to
pay for my flight out of South Africa.
We might have to go through with that.
Is this a ticket?
I can come pick you guys up.
Oh my gosh, that would be amazing.
But before the boxing match later that night we
had Cape Town to explore.
Can I join?
I joined a local band.
Oh, I got a whole band.
I searched for a place to stay for the night.
If anyone would let me stay with them tonight
that would be amazing.
We're all tourists.
Oh, amazing.
So you have houses here?
No.
No one's got a place here tonight?
No, they all coming in.
No? Alright, great.
Not even one room or a sofa or a chair?
Respect.
Visited the most stunning beach I'd ever seen.
Look at those white sands.
What a beautiful country.
Is the water cold?
Very cold.
Oh, that is cold.
Listen guys, it's been great, had a great time in there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for the experience.
Oh god, yeah yeah I'm gone.
And throughout all of this Jason was by my side.
You are just a man, Jason, for real.
The fact is he's helped us from the cafe.
And then Jason showed us a park where we could
hopefully tick off our first challenge in Africa.
Play a sport and attempt to become world champion.
But that was going to be tough because it was quite windy.
What the hell?
What the hell is this?
And on the way into the park I came across
the most unique sport I think I'd ever seen.
What is this?
This is canoe polo.
Oh my gosh.
A sport that combines water polo and canoeing
where two teams paddle around and aim to throw a
ball into a net suspended two metres above the water.
Do you need an extra player?
My brother. So I can join in, yeah?
Oh my gosh.
This guy Peter heard that I wanted to play so
he jumped out of the water to come and help
me get involved.
And after trying to squeeze into every single
kayak in the vicinity...
I think I might be too big.
I finally found one which I kind of fit into.
And after a very brief kayak lesson I was ready.
Okay, please tell them not to go too hard on me.
Okay, got you, got you.
This sport right here is impossible.
I don't even know how they even do it.
Even the regular players were struggling to score.
It should be easy to score into an empty net
but no, they even have goalkeepers too.
Oh, what a save!
So for me who couldn't even paddle without nearly
taking someone's head off.
Oh, sorry.
It was going to be near impossible to score.
Okay, so I'm done. I'm done, I'm done.
I don't know how to do this.
I'm scared I'm going to capsize.
Let's go, Wins.
Then all of a sudden I found myself wide open
in front of goal and the ball was coming towards me.
Let's go, let's go!
Come on! Come on!
Oh my God!
Oh, almost capsized.
Well, that's that done. What a sport.
I scored. You guys saw it.
I scored, which is crazy.
And I didn't capsize yet.
Oh, how the hell am I going to get out now?
The answer was brute force and with the help of multiple people.
There we go.
Well done, bud.
Oh my gosh, I scored.
I very much enjoyed that experience.
A very unusual sport which I'll probably never play again.
But thank you to Peter for letting us get involved in that.
- Well played. - Thank you, man, my brother, my brother.
Peter had helped me achieve my sporting challenge
and even let me have a freshen up in the
kayak club showers afterwards too.
I genuinely have not had a shower since the motorhome.
And now for the big event tonight, I'm not going to stink.
I was ready to head to Jason's friend's boxing
match and I had some huge issues that I needed
to solve that night.
We don't know where we're staying tonight and
also we don't know what the next country in
Africa that we're going to be going to.
I needed to find an African country with frequent
flights into Asia so that once I'd completed all
of my challenges in Africa, I could get to Asia [Africa]
quickly and easily. [Africa] [Asia]
And after some research, I decided the best
country to try and get to would be
Ethiopia.
That is very far away from South Africa but it's
the only country I can find which has a daily [Asia]
flight to Asia. [Asia]
So at this boxing event, I'm going to hope that
I can find someone who can get me a ticket
to Ethiopia or maybe someone who has a plane and
can fly me to Ethiopia and also we have to
find somewhere to stay.
It's going to be tough.
It's going to be impossible.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Can you book me a flight to Ethiopia please?
But the one thing that could make this all
possible were the type of people that were
attending this fight.
Now the unique thing about this boxing event is
the people running it, they're finance people so
the people in there should have peace.
So I'm hoping that someone's going to pay for my flight.
Someone will hopefully let me stay in their mansion.
Let's see what happens.
This was a very odd experience.
Finance companies fighting against each other.
This was just some random fight but Jason's friend was up next.
I heard of your challenge.
Do you want something to eat?
Can I buy you something to eat?
Oh yes, please.
After the fight, you will get something to eat.
Oh, yes, yes.
Already Jason's friends were being extremely generous.
Is he fighting now?
Yeah.
What's his name?
Jamie.
Jamie!
Come on, Jamie!
It was clear this whole place was supporting Jamie.
Please don't boo the opponent.
The whole arena is supporting this guy.
If he loses, this is going to be the most awkward moment ever.
Come on, Jamie!
He got off to a pretty good start but soon
Jamie started to eat more punches in the face
than I've eaten crepes in this video.
Oh my goodness me, he's unloading now.
C'mon, Jamie!
No matter how loudly people were screaming his
name Jamie was still getting battered.
I feel bad for him.
But in a massive shock ending they both won.
He won!
Come on!
But now time to focus on why I was really there.
Do you know someone with a plane?
With a plane?
Yeah. Who might fly me to Ethiopia.
You can't go that far, only locally.
Damn.
This guy Louis kindly bought me a pizza slice and
then I chatted to this guy Gianni about my
mission to get out of South Africa without
spending any money.
He then went and spoke to more of his friends
who were keen to help me out.
We know where you need to go.
To go where?
Ethiopia.
So you just told him about Ethiopia?
Yes. This is the man with the plan.
I might sponsor your flight to Ethiopia.
You can sort that?
Yeah. Let's do it.
Are you serious?
Yeah, it's good.
Yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was in pure shock.
Really?
It is, yeah.
This might seem fake but this guy genuinely just
came out of nowhere and offered to buy me a ticket.
I'll sponsor a hotel for tonight as well.
Oh my gosh, okay.
I'll do it for you.
What the hell is going on here?
I knew it was a great idea to come to
a finance event man.
The next thing I knew I was on my way
to the hotel.
This will be my first hotel stay of this whole trip.
So far the nicest things you've had is a trailer
and a plane seat.
So I'm very happy with this.
This is absolutely amazing.
Thank you honestly guys.
Can I ask why you guys did this?
Man, you're trying to get around the world.
You like the story?
Yeah I like the story.
Where's...
Oh there he is, I was going to say.
If Jason was gone I would have started crying.
Where did he go?
Listen, going to that boxing event best thing
I've ever done.
I'm glad I met you guys for real.
I said goodbye to these guys and headed up to
my room for the night.
It's a nice lift, I think this is going to be a nice hotel.
Oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh.
So far this video has been something.
We've had experiences I never believed that we
were going to have.
Surprisingly I'm not as hungry as I thought I was
going to be in this challenge.
A lot of people have been giving me food and
thanks to Karen and Ernie I have my waters.
We just need to get our flight confirmed for
tomorrow and then we can head up to Ethiopia.
But yeah, see you guys in the morning.
[Day 4] [South Africa] [Cape Town]
I spent the morning having a free swim in the
rooftop pool of the hotel and filling up on the free buffet.
And I've packed up a couple of chocolate muffins as well.
Good fuel just in case you don't know when you're going to need it.
And once again we linked up with Jason.
What up, brothers?
Geez, hot chocolate, thank you brother.
Him and Gianni took us up to a lookout point
over the city bowl to complete my African experience.
And for this I'd somehow managed to organise some
free paragliding.
What we said to these guys would be able to
film them a great promotional video.
So we're really going to have to seem like very
elite directors.
But sadly when we got there I was told by
the instructor that it wasn't windy enough.
No man, damn.
We were meant to paraglide.
And survive.
So if we didn't do it now we wouldn't survive.
We won't take off.
Damn, I wanted to do that man.
Pause.
I didn't want to do any, man.
What I wanted to do was that experience.
I was going to have to work out another
experience later on in Africa but it wasn't all
bad because I bumped into this choir up on the
mountain and they kindly offered to put on a
private show for me.
I've come all the way from the UK and I'd love to see you guys sing.
Would that be possible at all?
Is that alright, yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
Of course.
And they even let me join in.
I sing deeper, right here?
Yeah.
I join you guys here, yeah?
Yeah.
Okay, perfect, perfect.
Here we go.
Halala, halala.
I don't know the words to that.
Yeah, we enjoyed it, you don't know.
No, no, cut it out.
I can't do that.
Alright guys, thank you so much.
Thank you so much, that was sick, that was sick.
Alright, big up guys.
I got it now, I got it.
Big up, big up, big up, thank you guys.
You know, in another life I think I was a
performer because how would you rate my
performance there, George?
I think you did too much, I think you drowned
out the harmonising singing they were doing.
- That was too much? - Yeah, a little bit too much.
You know they brought me forward.
I was happy just being there in the back.
But after missing out on the paragliding I was
determined to tick off another challenge before
leaving South Africa and Jason reckoned we just
had enough time to go and find a cool animal
to photograph.
Here we are, trying to find a seal before our flight.
Now if you're like me and you're wondering why
the hell would there be a seal in the town,
well that's what Jason and Gianni have told us.
Why on earth would there be a seal here?
Oh! Oh, the seals.
I need to get a picture of this.
Oh my gosh!
I need a pic, I need a pic of one.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh, I got a pic, a picture.
I'm slowly getting better at taking these pictures. [Explore Africa]
That was really cool.
Now, let's get out of here.
It was time to leave Cape Town and the South
African gosts Jason and Gianni dropped me at the airport.
All right, my brother. Really, really appreciate everything, bro.
It's a pleasure.
That guy Jason, yeah?
The fact that he just picked us up from the
Power and the Glory, he just said he'd take us
around and then has taken us around everywhere
since, he is a legend.
That is the exact type of person who make trips
like this happen because he was solely taking us
around through the kindness of his heart.
But there's been a lot of kindness on this trip.
We had our hotel paid for and now our flight
to Ethiopia paid for.
The real challenge now is going to be meeting
someone on this plane to Ethiopia because we get
in late in the evening.
So if we don't have someone to stay tonight,
we're in big trouble.
Big trouble.
What are you guys doing in Ethiopia?
In transit.
Oh, in transit.
I'm not staying, just it's like...
Connecting flight.
Getting flight to India.
Let's go direct to Ethiopia.
Is anyone staying in Ethiopia or you're all travelling?
We're all travelling.
Damn.
Where are you going to after?
Samaria.
And finally I bumped into one of the only people
on this flight who were actually staying in Ethiopia.
My friend, are you going to Ethiopia?
Yes.
You're from Ethiopia?
Yes.
My friend, okay, so I'm currently doing a
documentary where I'm travelling around the world.
I'll have to do it with no money.
If there's any chance that I could come with you
when you get to Ethiopia, is that possible?
Could we be friends?
I'm Niko, by the way.
I'm Isisha.
Would you take me with you in Ethiopia?
Yeah, when you land to Ethiopia?
Yeah?
Sure. I can host you.
Are you serious?
Sure.
Now, this looks fake.
Have we ever met before?
You can have my number and call me when you
land in Ethiopia.
Yeah, and you'll host me? Today?
Yeah.
So let me take your number now.
Isisha?
Yes.
I cannot believe this.
Why are you helping me, can I ask?
This is how I do.
Whenever someone comes to my country, my home,
I will dine with them.
You are welcome any time.
You are an amazing man.
Oh, my God.
Pleasure to meet you, my friend.
I can't believe it.
That does not make any sense at all, any sense.
That does not make any sense.
That is the craziest clip of this whole series so far.
Isisha.
I thought we were going to be walking around
Ethiopia all night, you know?
We have somehow managed to find someone who on
the other side of the flight is going to house
us, maybe feed us.
This is amazing.
This is absolutely incredible.
I cannot believe it.
It really was unbelievable.
I'd secured myself a place to stay in Ethiopia
and I hadn't even got in the country yet.
Do you think it's still worth chatting to anyone else?
No.
No? For backup?
No, that's out.
That's out.
I didn't have to bother asking anyone else.
I could sit back and enjoy my flight to Ethiopia
because I knew that my brother would be looking
after me on the other side.
I thought I lost you. - So, you are calling me tomorrow?
- Eh?
Tomorrow you are calling me?
Is today okay?
No, tomorrow morning.
You want to host me? Today?
Yeah.
Oh, no, because we don't...
I know you've got a place to stay.
No place tonight.
you can call me tomorrow.
Can I come today or no?
No, no.
You are welcome anytime.
All good, all good.
Nothing today?
Oh my gosh, we're screwed.
Isisha.
Yes?
Do you know anywhere where we might be able to go?
No, I don't know.
Oh, because I thought we were going to come to
your house.
Oh, I didn't communicate that way because
tomorrow...
I said tomorrow specifically, right?
No, because I said today.
Is that okay?
So I can come for food.
Oh, I didn't know that you said tomorrow but
I don't want to be on the video or on the
internet or anything.
So...
Make sure that you don't put this on the internet.
Okay.
All right, my friend.
Nice to meet you.
There we go.
So, basically, he sent me to space and then he
was like, yeah, I know I sent you but don't
put me on the internet.
He sent us to a different universe.
You know, I was on Cloud 9 that whole flight.
And to top it off, I'd also lost my bag.
Have you seen a backpack on here?
This has been the worst ten minutes of my whole career.
We've just been told that my bag is stuck somewhere.
So I won't be able to get it until tomorrow.
Oh, gosh.
I can't actually believe this but me not having
my bag has actually ended up working in our
favour because it means I can wait here while
they get my bag.
I'd much rather be in here at least.
It's warm and I'll just wait here until they
bring my bag, which will hopefully be in the morning.
Alright, George is leaving me.
He doesn't have to stay here in the airport and
he's a snake pussy.
Have a good night.
I will have a great night.
So it's me filming now.
Peace out, George.
Let's go to shaky cam, guys.
It's just me here at the airport while George
goes to a nice luxurious hotel and I'm gonna be
here having a great time in the airport.
I hung around for a little while and then...
Oh!
There I am.
That's me.
We have my bag.
So now I'm just gonna wait here for as long as I can.
This is great news because it means I can eat.
Take a look at the stuff I'm in.
I tucked into a 2D croissant and a crushed muffin
from that morning's buffet.
Now I may be here at the airport, here all
night but at least I have Shades here with me.
My sweets.
And these are my favourite flavours, right?
Now when I made this sweet, I wanted to make
this Sweet for Everyone.
I'm going travelling the world right now but the
dream is for these sweets to be the biggest sweet
in the world.
It just tastes so good.
If you wanna find out where you can get some
of the greatest sweets on the planet go to the
Shades by Niko website.
There's a whole store locator on there.
Incredible sweets.
Every flavour's good but this one is my personal
favourite.
The time is currently 2:37. I haven't slept yet.
Because I've been busy keeping myself entertained.
World around the world around the world.
We are in Ethiopia.
This is how I'm sleeping tonight. I'm not sleeping. I'm not sleeping.
Oh man! Isisha...
It's currently 3am and I'm gonna
try and at least get 2 hours sleep here.
[2 hours later]
Okay. [2 hours later]
The time is now 5.50. I'm gonna keep
pushing and we've probably slept about 5 minutes so far.
This is the most uncomfortable bed ever.
It's tough, man.
1 hour later.
The time is now 6.55. George is coming to
meet me and hopefully we have a great day.
Here we go. [Day 5] [Ethiopia]
[Day 5] [Ethiopia]
Let's try this again. [Day 5] [Ethiopia]
How much sleep did you actually get?
About 5 minutes.
Seriously?
Yeah.
How are you gonna operate today?
I'll be fine.
The challenge now is getting into the centre of
Ethiopia and finding a friend.
So I'm gonna try and do that right now.
Excuse me, my friend.
My name is Niko. Very nice to meet you.
We're currently filming a documentary around
travelling around the world through the kindness
of strangers.
Do you want to come with me?
- Yes, to the city? - In the same taxi?
Yes, in the same taxi.
Yes.
Is that okay?
Yes, why not?
What's your name?
Reno.
Reno, thank you very much, my friend.
Reno the legend!
I can't spend any money in this video so
I can't spend money.
Is that okay for you to get the taxi?
Yes, yes.
Thank you, Reno.
And then I found out he had his own personal
tour guidebook.
This is my taxi driver.
Oh, you have a driver?
This is Jackpot.
If I've ever seen Jackpot before, this is Jackpot.
Oita! This is my friend.
Hello, my friend.
Oita, yes?
As Reno requested, Oita took us for a coffee
which Ethiopia is famous for.
The best coffee in town.
Best coffee.
Thank you so much, Reno.
Thank you, George. - Thank you, my brother, my brother, my brother.
I don't actually like coffee but considering it's
just unspeakable, I mean, here I go.
So when I taste this, it's obvious respect to Ethiopia.
I just don't like coffee.
Oh, oh, oh, my God.
I'm very sorry.
He's very expressive.
What do you think of it, Reno?
I think it's okay.
It's very strong.
Very strong, very strong coffee, yeah.
Reno couldn't believe the story of how I got here.
Who paid the flight? Who paid?
A stranger.
Strangers?
Yes.
It's impossible.
Ah, that's what everyone keeps saying.
We chatted for a while and ordered more drinks.
That means for our healthy research.
And Reno kindly paid the bill but insisted that
I handed over the money for the video.
You pay, you pay.
- I can't. - You pay.
I almost failed the whole challenge.
You didn't touch money. It's not possible.
Yes, exactly, you understand. There we go.
Reno, in the video, it's not possible to put money.
It's impossible? Ah.
An Italian, an Ethiopian and myself had just
formed the most unlikely friendship group and
they said that I could join them on their tour
for the rest of the day free of charge.
You're a lucky man.
Yes.
Because you meet me.
Yes, I know. And then you introduced me.
And next, Oita is taking us to the biggest market in Africa.
The market is crazy.
There's a lot of people.
It's very dangerous.
If you are with me, no problem.
No issues with Oita.
This place, the market, we call Mercato.
And it's the biggest market in Africa.
That's right.
Mercato is 16 square kilometres.
It's absolutely huge. [16km2]
It's home to over 7,000 businesses and employs
over 13,000 people selling just about anything
you can imagine.
Manchester United.
Most of the people in Ethiopia, they like Arsenal.
They are a fan of Arsenal.
They like Arsenal here?
Yeah, yeah.
Ah, they stink. Who do you support?
I like Arsenal too.
Oh, man.
This place is huge.
No problem, no problem. Wait.
This market was hectic.
Everything you could possibly imagine was being sold here.
People were everywhere getting up to all sorts of
different things.
It was crazy.
We got so lucky being with these guys.
I can't believe it.
I'm very, very grateful.
I tried some sugar cane.
I wasn't the biggest fan.
No, I'm great.
Met the greatest cat impersonator of all time.
Meow.
That's an interesting sales technique.
Meow.
This place was mental and the best way I could
connect with people was through football.
Manchester United are the greatest team in the world.
Yes, pass, pass, pass.
Hey, hey.
Ah, no tech.
Crazy, crazy.
Cut that out.
Cut that out. Cut that out.
Here we go.
Fair enough.
Fair enough. He got me twice.
Brighton.
Brighton?
Yeah.
Why is there a Brighton shirt here, man?
Manchester United.
United?
United.
Yeah, I like United.
No.
I don't like United.
Why don't you like United?
I like Liverpool.
United, United, United.
City, city,city.
City?
Yeah.
You two are the worst.
Liverpool, Liverpool lad.
You don't know what you're talking about, mate.
Noooooo.
Manchester United.
How many Premier Leagues have you got, my friend?
Ciao.
Ciao. I like Liverpool.
I don't like United.
That was cool, right?
Then Oita took us up to a rooftop to get
a view over the whole market.
Oh, wow! Okay.
You know, I'm scared of heights and this is actually crazy.
This just shows how busy this whole thing is.
Look, I can't believe the fact that this is happening.
I'm genuinely being taken around Ethiopia being
given a full tour just because Reno has already paid for it.
We are really getting the full experience.
The only thing that would make this better is a drone shot.
Like, right about there?
Yeah, right there would be cool, yeah.
Seeing how busy everything was from this angle
was absolutely mental and I just can't believe
we'd managed to even get here.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia is an incredible place but
sadly due to my challenge I couldn't stay much longer.
I needed to get to Asia and I found a
flight to Thailand at 11.50pm that evening but
before I could unlock my continent to continent
flight I still had three challenges to complete here in Africa.
And since it was approaching
dinner time this was the perfect chance to
complete my Food Challenge of eating a native
dish but Reno had other ideas.
There is a very famous pizzeria here.
Pardon?
I know a very famous pizzeria, pizza.
Our flight's at 11.55 and we still haven't done
our local food experience and what doesn't help
is we're about to eat at a pizza place which
basically means if we don't do it tonight for
dinner we will miss the flight.
I'm not complaining, it's Reno's day so we have the pizza.
This was a farewell meal for Reno as once we'd
finished the pizza which he even paid for he was
heading off to stay with a tribe for a few
days so we then dropped him to the airport.
Yes, let's go!
Yes! Reno! Yeah!
Brother, come here.
Thank you so much, man.
Thank you so much.
Honestly, I had a terrible night last night and
you just made everything great.
You introduced me to Oita I just want to say
thank you so much, man.
You are a real, real legend.
What a nice guy!
All the best for the rest of your life.
Thank you, you too.
Now, our only hope is to speak to Oita and
see if he's on helping us out.
Maybe he'd be willing to help, he's a proper nice
guy so fingers crossed.
My brother, Oita obviously we've had a sick time so far.
I'm just wondering obviously you know the
challenge which I'm doing so I was wondering if
there was a way where we could continue this day
as friends and just keep it going.
Yeah.
Yeah, because you know I'm not spending money so yeah, yeah.
Happy with that?
Yeah.
You sure?
Yes.
Is that a yes?
So we got to come with you there, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
Perfect, brother.
Oita kindly agreed to help me out for the rest
of the day and before dinner he took me out
to the most beautiful view of the city.
Oh that's beautiful, let's see that.
Oh wow!
Today we meet and we do a nice thing together
and we enjoy it.
You are a very nice person.
You are a nice person, bro.
Thank you, no problem.
No, for real, you didn't have to take us around.
You treated me like a friend, man and you are
really my friend now.
I was really interested to know why Oita was so
willing to help me despite me being a complete stranger.
In a big city when you live anything people they
do is money but in the tribe when I grow
up if you don't have something to eat people will
give you free goats, cows. That's how I grew up.
That's why.
Very giving.
Yeah.
I'm not from the city, that's why.
You've taught me so much about this place as well.
No problem, to be honest I hope we'll meet one day again.
A hundred percent, and I promise next time I'm not going to be
stingy and I'll be able to...
No, don't talk about that.
Next time I won't be stingy.
Should we go get food?
Yeah.
Let's do it, man.
This is exactly why I wanted to do this series,
to connect with kind people and show the
generosity and community that's out there all
around the world.
I felt lucky to have met such a special person
as Oita despite coming from such humble
beginnings he was more than happy to make me feel
welcome and take care of me for free.
And that evening he even invited me to dinner
with his friends where I could take off my
challenge of eating a native dish.
That's us.
Very excited.
Is that nice?
What's the bread called?
We call it Teff.
Teff.
We say it's only found in Ethiopia.
I was a big fan of Teff.
Together we polished off the whole plate and
I made sure to thank the chefs.
I am a big fan of that, look.
Thank you.
That was thank you, by the way, guys.
I probably butchered it.
I'm going to thank you so much, brother.
That was great food.
Where do we go now?
Now we're going to some local bar.
We headed out to a bar for a drink and
I thought this was the perfect place to share my sweets.
These are my sweets, so I've come out with sweets.
You guys like sweets?
Yeah, of course.
One of the reasons I'm doing all this is because
I want to share my sweets with the world, right?
Okay.
Oita shared the sweets with every single person
in the room before trying one himself.
What do you think?
Ten years ago, I was very short, you know.
I get this sweet.
Yeah, this sweet.
You like it?
Yes, it's very sweet.
Wow.
You like it?
Want another one?
I like it very much.
You know what he said?
What?
He said before, I didn't like any sweet thing.
But these things, the taste is very nice, he said.
That's how you know you guys need to get these
sweets, yeah?
Thank you, thank you, man.
Wow, I like it.
With raving reviews all around, I'd
successfully shared Shades in Africa, leaving us
with just one final challenge to complete here.
He's coming back here for more.
Oita then took us to a special bar as it
was time to complete our final challenge in
Africa, having a true African experience.
Here we go.
I am excited, man.
I was not expecting this.
He took us to a performance night where everyone
was welcome to come up on stage and dance.
So what?
Does everyone start dancing?
We go to the top.
Huh?
We'll go to the top.
We'll go to the top of the stage?
Yeah.
You're serious?
Yeah, no problem.
You nervous?
Yeah, I'm nervous.
What a way to end things, huh?
To try and settle my nerves, I got a quick
lesson in the local dancing style.
I don't know how you vibrate your shoulders like that.
We call it malaria dance.
When you get malaria, you shake it.
I'll show you.
Yeah, I see what they mean.
It's very in the shoulders.
And before I knew it, it was time.
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
And Oita was trying to get out of coming up
there with me.
Do you have to?
You have to, you have to, you have to.
Yes, yes.
You go, you go, you go.
Yeah!
Am I doing it right?
Here we go.
I can't believe we're here.
After everything that's happened here in Africa,
we managed to make it to Ethiopia.
I'm dancing on the stage.
Oita didn't stay for very long at all.
It left me to carry the whole show on my own.
Yeah, not good.
Let's go, let's go.
Yeah, yeah.
Now I'm a pro, now I'm a pro, yes.
I'm a pro now.
I'm a pro.
After watching this back, I've realised that I
was in fact not a pro.
Here we go.
Here we go, brother.
Was that a horror show?
Was that a horror show?
You tried to get out of that.
You said you were going to come up there and
then you tried to get out of it.
You are a waffler.
You dance very well.
You said we're going to go up there together and
then he tried to leave me up there.
I said no, you're coming with me.
Go, oh.
You tried to get out of it.
So it was only right to drag Oita up for one last dance.
Yeah, what's the dance, what's the dance?
The crowd were waiting for something big so it
was time to show them a masterpiece.
Come, come, come, come!
Come, come, come, come!
This is what this series is about.
Bringing people together and sharing experiences
in all corners of the earth.
And here we were in Ethiopia.
Putting on a show and dancing side by side with
a group of strangers.
And Oita of course, my brother who had so kindly
looked after me for free.
I couldn't think of a better way to end my
time here in Africa.
I was really going to miss this place.
There we go.
There we go.
Let's get out of here.
And then we called it a night.
So you enjoyed, yeah?
My brother, thank you so much. That was amazing.
Really, really enjoyed that.
I was not expecting that, you know.
What a way to end things here, man.
We'd ended our time in Africa by completing our
final challenge, having a free experience.
Now it was time to head to the airport and
Oita the legend even came with me to say goodbye.
Thank you so much.
Happy to meet you.
Happy to meet you, man.
Oita is your brother.
My brother, yeah, pleasure.
Honestly, thank you so much.
Really, really appreciate everything, man.
See you next time.
Yes, 100%.
Keep in touch, bro.
Yes.
You're a great person, my friend.
Thank you.
For real, you're a great person.
We had done it.
Two countries, many experiences, new food, one
rough sleep, great friendships made and not a
single penny spent.
That was Africa completed. [Africa]
Meaning Asia was officially unlocked. [Africa] [Asia]
Shout out to all the kind people who have helped
me so far after our first two continents I had
a total of £9,758 in the charity pot which
of course will be doubling to £19,516. [Charity Pot] [£19,516]
By the end of the series our Charity Pot will of course be split
Between seven different charities
One from each continent
For the continent of Europe we have chosen Feantsa
A charity whose ultimate goal is to end homelesness in Europe for good
And for the continent of Africa we have chosen The Water Project
who helps communities in South Saharan Africa gain access to clean safe water
through introducing new wells
this fantastic charities websites will be in the description
So my friends, that is Africa completed and we
literally just relied on friendship and vibes, to be honest.
This is just completely powered by vibes.
Now we move on to Asia and who knows what's in store.
I do because I have a plan.
I know exactly what I'm going to do but you'll have to wait for that one.
[Asia] That's right, we're going to attempt to go to
[Australasia] [South America] every single continent
[North America] [Antarctica] every Wednesday at 6pm British time
[Every Wednesday 6PM GMT on the Niko Omilana channel.
[Next Wednesday] This is going to be huge so don't miss it
[Next Wednesday] as next week we take on Asia.
