We are talking about the existence of a large number of time zones.

Hagemeier took note of this, took certain actions, and almost doubled the length of his birthday.

The essence of the record set by Sven Hagemeier

In 2015, the German turned 26 years old.

The man decided to celebrate his birthday in an unusual way.

The guy wanted to extend the holiday. To do this, he decided to travel between different time zones by plane.

In other words, Hagemeier acted like this: after celebrating a holiday in one country, he immediately went to another - to a place where the clock hands had not yet reached a certain mark.

As a result, the German managed to ensure that the duration of his birthday was 46 hours.

During this time, the guy managed to visit Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii.

The man had to spend 13 hours in the air.

Since then, Sven Hagemeier has been listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the person who celebrated the "longest birthday in history."
