While most of us spent the weekend enjoying some of our last lazy days of summer before school starts, another teen was up to something a tad more ambitious.
On Saturday morning, 18-year-old Australian pilot Lachlan Smart became the youngest person to complete a solo flight around the world in a single engine plane, Mashable reports. And he got the fastest time even though a hurricane delayed the last leg of his flight by a whole day.
"That's how you claim a Guinness World Record!" Lachlan wrote on Instagram after he landed in Queensland's Maroochydore Airport, finishing what had been a 54 day solo journey that took him to 24 different places and 15 countries.

"Don't be afraid to dream big and when you have a goal, go for it," Lachlan said, giving us an extra boost of motivation for September.
