If you have always dreamt of traveling around the world, here is your chance. In less than five minutes you will be able to experience some of the most beautiful places on earth without, spending a dime!
The incredible time-lapse video is the amalgamation of over 6,237 photos taken by San Francisco based Kien Lam, during his epic journey around the world. During the year long trip that took the artist through 17 countries, he sat on 19 planes, 58 buses and 18 boats! The best part is, that when he started out in 2010, he had no set itinerary.
His aim, was to get away from a cold foggy San Franciso summer and follow the sun which, probably explains the super-cool pictures. To read about his experiences go to kienlam.net/around-the-world.

- Evanover 13 yearsThat is outstanding that he traveled all around the world because he wanted to get away from cold foggy San Francisco. He went to 17 countries, on 19 planes, 58 buses, and on 18 boats. How did he have a year to go on that trip? At least now I can do the trip in five minutes.
- Emilyover 13 yearsWow.That video was so cool.I would like to travel around the whole world in 5 minutes.but you'd have to be crazy to have to take 19 airplanes,58 buses,and 18 boats.I also wouldn't like to fill up all of my memory on my camera with 6,237 photos!

- Gold Taylorover 13 yearsWhoa!! All those places and we saw them all in 5 minutes.Chris, he really didn't go everywhere in 5 minutes. It is like you are walking to the park and it is a 20 minute walk. You cannot do that in 5 minutes unless you are Sonic the hedgehog and Kien is not Sonic the hedgehog. I would really like to go to London one day. It was really cool to see that video when we saw other places and we were still in our own house! That was super cool! I can't wait to see more of his pictures!
jackthefamousover 13 yearsREALLY!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This guy takes a whole year just to make a 5 minute video! It was kinda cool though.
