Description


You might think traveling to every country would be an impressive accomplishment. How about traveling to every country twice? Well, that’s exactly what Gunnar Garfors of Norway did!
His mom may think he’s crazy, but he’s made a career out of his travels, speaking around the world — and even met his girlfriend at a conference for extreme travelers! He’s the author of six books and currently working on his seventh, examining the countries along the equator and the arctic circle.
Other unique things you’ll hear in the Gunnar Garfors interview:

How he decided to visit every country for a second time while working on a book


Why he was bombarded by Romanian journalists who thought he declared Romania as his favorite country in the world


What event organizers ask him to speak about at conferences around the world


How a robbery attempt in Gabon forced him to change his preconceived plan to peacefully give away whatever possessions he had


How a one year old’s birthday party in Kiribati helped put things into perspective


Where he would live if he weren’t “living” in Oslo

Stories and hacks from the world’s most traveled. Less than 300 people in the world have visited all 195 countries. To put that into context, about 600 have been to space! In the Pick My Adventure Show, Kevin Leu interviews the world’s most traveled to find out what inspired them, how they fund their travels, their most incredible (and terrifying) situations, their favorite countries, and what they can teach us about seeing more of the world. Host Kevin Leu is a former television news reporter, anchor, and producer in several markets in the United States, who travels the world by allowing his followers to choose his next destination and activities via Instagram polls. He has been to 94 countries – not yet 195! – and you can follow him on Instagram at @PickMyAdventureTraveler.
