Grzegorz Krychowiak played 100 matches for Poland and lifted two Europa League trophies with Emery’s Sevilla. He spent time at PSG and built a career any footballer would dream of.
But when he hung up his boots, he didn’t choose the quiet path of retirement. The 36-year-old Pole grabbed his passport and began traveling the planet one country at a time, from the Middle East to remote islands.
Today, he has already visited 140 of the 196 sovereign states recognized around the world. He has 56 left to complete the full circuit and go down in history for something that has nothing to do with a football pitch.
