MANILA, Philippines—An American teenager attempting to become the youngest person ever to fly around the world solo arrived in Manila on Tuesday.

Matt Guthmiller, a 19-year-old native of South Dakota in the United States, is on a moth-long mission to travel around the world.

Guthmiller said he wants to inspire others.

“If you have a big idea, just go out and figure out how to do it,” he said.

His itinerary includes 25 stops in 14 countries in five continents and he is raising funds to donate to charity.
