What does it take to be 'the world's most traveled man'? Our guest, Harry Mitsidis, founder of NomadMania, reveals how he has visited all 193 sovereign countries as recognized by the United Nations -- many, more than once. Harry paints a vivid picture of his travels, sharing not just the stamp-laden passport but the interactions, deep cultural immersions, and customs that have shaped his journey. His insights and strategies for extensive traveling are lessons for both the novice and seasoned traveler.
We discuss favorite and least favorite countries, beauty and unique customs, dangerous situations and lessons learned. And Harry’s closing memory about how a simple act of giving a dollar led to an outpouring of gratitude in a local village will leave you contemplating the value of small gestures.
