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
