Couple walks across one of the world's smallest countries
A world-traveling husband and wife from Pennsylvania recorded their short trek across one of the world's smallest countries, Tuvalu. They completed the hike in less than 60 seconds.
Walking across an entire country sounds like a big feat.
But for one of the smallest nations in the world, it barely takes a minute.
Tuvalu, a Pacific island north of Fiji, is one of the smallest countries in the world, and it's the "least visited," according to multiple sources.

The island is only 10 square miles at an elevation of less than 10 feet above sea level, according to National Geographic.

Tuvalu, surrounded by blue waters, was formed around the Te Namo Lagoon, leaving only a ring of land for its less than 12,000 natives.
Hudson and Emily Crider, a married couple from Pennsylvania, are making it their goal to visit every country in the world – and destination No. 183 was Tuvalu.

The couple posted a video to their social media on Sept. 24 stating that they’d be walking across the "entire country," joking that the trek should only be done by "professionals."

"Now, if you wanted to, you could walk across an entire country like America, or you could fly to the least visited country in the world, Tuvalu, which also happens to be one of the smallest," she added.
Emily Crider continued, saying that "in 30 seconds, you can walk across the entire country."

The couple described the country as "beautiful, and what makes it even more special is the friendliness of the locals."
"For anyone interested in traveling here, a highlight is that every evening, hundreds of people gather on the airport runway to play sports," they said in a joint statement sent via Instagram direct messenger.
"It's such a special atmosphere to be part of."
The traveling pair also recommended renting a moped to drive the length of the country.
