Kamloops couple completes six-year, 84-country odyssey
KAMLOOPS — Daniel and Sara Pedersen of Kamloops completed the journey of a lifetime this week and returned home with a suitcase full of memories.
The pair was gone for six years and visited 84 countries, 260,000 kilometres in all, including all seven continents.
Daniel, a financial planner, and Sara, a physician, were inspired to make the trip by a promise they made to themselves when they got married more than 20 years ago.
“This harkens back to when Sara and I were first married,” he told CFJC Today. “We made some decisions, like we weren’t going to have children and we discussed in earnest what we wanted to do with our lives and one of the big things is we wanted to see the world.”
