Pokemon Go: How to do a trade of over 10,000 km for the World Tourism Day Event?

The biggest challenge in completing this task is that trade needs to happen in one trade. It cannot be done in combinations. The best way to do this trade is by visiting /r/pokemongotrades/ and adding friends from far away regions.

Players can open gifts & hatch 7km Eggs from that far away region or location. Then trade those Pokemon with distance over 10,000 km.
