GeoWizard

Thomas George "Tom" DaviesCan we complete this extraordinary straight line mission? [DAY 4: Come Here Coast] — GeoWizard (YouTube). 19 Jan 2022 (born: ), better known online as GeoWizard (formerly GeoguessrWizard), is an English YouTuber known for his gameplay of the geography-based online game GeoGuessr, as well as his adventure videos.
==About==
GeoWizard's real name is Tom Davies; this can be seen as the name of his GeoGuessr profile during videos. He currently resides in the West Midlands area of England. He stated in a video that he doesn't live too far from the cathedral city of Lichfield. He also mentions in a video, where he crosses Wales in a straight line, a takeaway pizza restaurant based in the town of Sutton Coldfield, hinting that he is from around that area. His hometown is Aldridge, as stated in his first Real Life GeoGuessr video. He has a girlfriend called Verity who has been mentioned in some videos.
==GeoGuessr==
Most of Davies' content revolves around the online geography puzzle game GeoGuessr. Examples of his Geoguessr videos include perfect score challenges in certain countries, Battle Royale, 10-second-per-round games, and Hometown Roulette, a monthly series he has created where he will play a game in the hometown of one of his fans, picked randomly. He also occasionally plays other games on his channel, like the quiz game Sporcle, and his own game called Streetview Bingo, where he sets himself a time limit within which to find as many of a series of chosen items as possible in Google Streetview.
He also has a twitch account, where he does livestreams of the games mentioned above, along with others. He does 2-3 streams per week, and Verity moderates the chat.

===Straight Line Missions===
In winter of 2018, Tom attempted to walk across the country of Wales in a completely straight line. He didn't upload the footage until the summer of the same year. He attempted to cross from the English border near the town of Oswestry, all the way to Dolgellau on the west coast. He made it just over halfway before temporarily giving up, taking a 5-day break, and returning to walk the rest of the distance. The videos were split into 5 different parts.
The second attempt to cross Wales came a year following the first attempt during the spring of 2020. This time, Tom was joined by his friend Greg. The mission was last minute due to their other straight-line missions (Scotland and Luxembourg) being cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. During the trip, they encountered several people, including someone who informed them that the UK had gone into lockdown since the beginning of their trip. Ultimately this attempt failed on its third video due to an unforeseen Addisonian crisis experienced by Greg on Day 4.
Tom travelled Norway in a straight line during the summer of 2020. Unlike Wales, farmers were not a main concern of Tom due to the remote route he chose in Norway. During the trip, he used a kayak several times and met up with Verity. Compared to both missions across Wales, Tom encountered far fewer people. This, combined with being much more prepared on this trip than the previous two across Wales led to success. 
In the winter 2020-2021, Tom and Greg attempted a straight-line mission across Scotland. This would prove to be their greatest challenge yet, as it was the longest line either of them had attempted. They were much more prepared than previous trips and the mood was optimistic that they'd make it. After several days, a farmer called the police on them for being in violation of COVID-19 restrictions in the UK, and both were asked to leave Scotland and return home. Despite wanting to continue on, Tom decided to listen to the police and they headed home. 
In the fall of 2021, Tom returned to Wales to attempt his third straight line challenge there. This time joined with his brother Ben, the pair started off pretty well. But on Day 2, they encountered an angry farmer and attempted to run away from him. They just managed to get away, but Tom's ankle was badly injured from all the running. After resting up, the pair continued through large moorlands and pine forests. But, due to a faulty pack of batteries, their GPS quickly ran out of power, and they had to navigate along random pathways in the hopes of finding Verity. They eventually found her, and decided it would be best to go back home and take a break before going back and finishing the remaining sector of the trip. The next week, they returned. Although they did have to deal with massive forests filled with brambles and several deep water canals, they completed the mission successfully. 
===Other adventures===
In late 2019, Davies and Greg attempted a European trip from Geneva, Switzerland to Bratislava, Slovakia, using as many different modes of transport as possible on the way without paying for public services, along with completing a series of tasks on the way chosen by fans. The series, titled 'How NOT to Travel Europe' was uploaded between late December of 2019 to January 2020. It was ultimately mostly successful, although they did fail to complete one of the tasks and they were forced to pay for a coach bus and a train at several points. As a whole, they used 12 different modes of transportation and travelled through Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Austria, and Slovakia. 
In March 2020, he uploaded a 2-part series entitled Real Life Geoguessr, where he was blindfolded and driven by Verity to various locations within the United Kingdom. He would then explore the place looking for clues as to where he was, just like if he were playing a game of Geoguessr, before opening the app on his phone and attempting to guess the location. He managed to successfully guess his location on the first four rounds, but failed on the last.
==Music==
GeoWizard also makes music. He publicly released his first album 16-Bit Adventure on October 21, 2020, under the name Amynedd, which featured the music used earlier in his Mission Across Wales and How NOT to Travel Europe series, along with six new tracks. 'Amynedd' is a Welsh word meaning patience and tolerance. He has also performed in a band called Kinds of Light, that released an EP titled 'Live-In Fiction' in 2017.
