Part Two: The First Person to Travel to Every Country Without Flying (In a Single Journey) With Thor Pedersen

Part Two: The First Person to Travel to Every Country Without Flying (In a Single Journey) With Thor Pedersen

I’m excited to bring you part two of my conversation with Thorbjørn Pedersen, the first person ever to visit every country in the world in a single journey without flying. At the time of this recording, Thor was just beginning his trek home on a container ship. Can you imagine not being home for an entire decade? In this episode, Thor and I continue our conversation around the good, the bad, and the ugly of his epic 10-year quest around the globe. He shares about the chance encounters that profoundly impacted his journey, the importance of leaving a positive impression wherever you go, and he gets brutally honest about the challenges he’ll face once he returns home. This episode will help you to have a true sense of the realities of taking on such a huge project and inspire you to push towards your goals, whatever they may be. What was your biggest takeaway from Thor’s journey? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
