You may think you’ve met or heard of every type of traveler out there, but you have NEVER met a traveler like Indy Nelson.
Having just graduated from UC Berkeley, he traveled to every country in the world for the thrill of being able to plan out every part of the trip – including routes, visas, accommodations, and even booking 100 plane tickets BEFORE the trip even started – leaving little room for error!
When Indy Nelson finished his journey, he was the youngest (24 years old) and fastest to visit every country in the world (539 days). Want to know how much it would cost you to see every country in the world on one continuous trip? Because Indy kept detailed notes on how much he spent in those 539 days and shares with us the cost!
Other unique things you’ll hear in the Indy Nelson interview:
-
The four countries he was detained in for being a suspected spy – including the eight hours of interrogation in a disputed territory in Georgia by the Russians
-
Of the 197 airlines he has flown on (a record), which would he say are the best in the world
-
Why Central Asia is one of his favorite regions
-
How it took 100 hours of research and paper work so that he could spend 25 minutes in Democratic Republic of Congo
-
Why he spent three weeks in Cambodia, when he only allotted 36 hours for every country (And why it was his favorite country)
-
How long it took him to pay off his trip cost after maxing out several credit cards
-
How his travels have helped him in job interviews
-
How he was able to be on the front line in war zones, including up close and personal with ISIS
