8,000 Miles Across India in a Vintage Rolls Royce With Rupert Grey (Romantic Road)

Media lawyer and world adventurer Rupert Grey and his wife spent six months driving across India in their beat-up 1930s Rolls Royce. Their epic journey was turned into a documentary film called “Romantic Road” and was produced by Sharon Stone!

In this episode, Rupert shares about this adventure, and we discuss their bold choice to travel through India in a vehicle that's seen as a symbol of wealth. You’ll hear about the blunt wisdom he received from a trucker that he still carries with him today, the value of accepting risk and pursuing your passions no matter what anybody says to you, how this adventure became a highly-rated documentary, and so much more.

Did Rupert’s story inspire you to take your own unusual journey through a foreign land? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
