196: How To Make Friends With Warlords And Other Dangerous Individuals – Kolja Spori
The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup
I'd Love to Have Dinner With You
"My respect level's certainly gone down since i learned these types of things," he says. "I would still like to get him on the show at some point, but i don't know, it's just, yes, my respect level's definitely gone down." He adds: "It's typical for main stream figures that they become arrogant"
A GLIMPSE INTO MY CONVERSATION WITH KOLJA
- What an intense conversation with Kolja on the most dangerous cities and countries you can travel to and what can happen at any moment while you are there.
- What life is like when you have visited every UN country in the world, especially war zones…
- We talk about THE most dangerous capital in the world and what the government does and doesn’t do to protect its citizens.
- On the other hand, we talk about Russia and the freedom from government and what it’s like in Siberia. Such dichotomy.
- I really wanted to understand what is it about these dangerous countries or the war zone that attracted Kolja to want to visit and see them, and why he continues to visit them again and again.
- Listen in as Kolja describes war zones and crisis areas in Belfast, Northern Ireland… what it felt like and the process he undertook to be able to process what was happening… countries like Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo… each one more dangerous than the other
- How hiring a local taxi driver in these horrific war zone areas who can explain why after so many years these things are still happening, can impact who you are as a person and why it’s so important to understand the truth.
- Find out which city and country are Kolja’s most favourite of all the countries he has visited in his lifetime. I bet you’ll never guess.
- How the information we get on television or in our mainstream media is the direct opposite of the reality on the ground, as we discuss several different countries and what life is actually like living there.
- Extreme Traveller Congress… from billionaire to backpacker, how 150 participants come together, no matter what they’ve done in the past, and why it just doesn’t matter, all for the love of travel and adventure.
- We discuss in detail what life is like for Kolja now, living in Monaco, after spending years travelling… is this still a passion for him?
- I wanted to understand what Kolja has learned from visiting all of these different types of war zone countries and meeting the players that are involved? What have been his insights?
- If you have an extra $250,000 sitting around and want to do something so radical that almost no one else on earth has done or even heard about, then listen as Kolja pitches you on his next adventure of 2023.
