However, one traveller has revealed he paired up with a daredevil duck on an epic two-week-long, 1,000-mile journey around Vietnam.
Rab went on the trip – even riding on a motorbike – with Dan McAllen, 21, and his friends, all from Northern Ireland, as they completed the Top Gear route through the South East Asian country.
They bought him at the same time as they bought their motorbikes for the journey – from a fellow Northern Irishman.
Dan said: ‘I came across this guy in Saigon selling his bike and, while we were negotiating, he said I could have a free duck. Obviously, I said yes. So I got Rab and a couple of small bowls to feed him from. He was with us the whole trip and I’ve got some great memories of him.’
