Is traveling to every country on your bucket list?

Today I’m joined by Thorbjørn Pedersen, the first person to visit every country in the world in a single journey without flying!

In this episode, Thor and I unpack some of the many lessons he learned on this audacious 10-year quest. He shares what kept him going despite the mental stress and traumatic experiences, how this adventure has changed him, and how he’s maintained a long-distance relationship through it all.

Make sure to catch part two of this episode on Thursday!

What is your ultimate travel goal? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
