Ep. 800: Encircling Africa by Public Transport - Revisited - Ian Packham

Originally aired June 9, 2016

Ian Packham is a trained medical researcher turned adventurer and decided to circumnavigate the African continent by means of public transportation, which would become the first time anyone had done this solo and unsupported.

During his 13 month – 25,000 mile trip, Ian was mistaken for an undercover UN official during Liberia’s presidential election and was denied access to the Democratic Republic of Congo, and so much more!

The adventure earned Ian a 2013 runner-up for the National Geographic Traveler writing competition and his new book “Encircle Africa: Around Africa by Public Transport” chronicles this epic tale!
