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 Find out more here: https://pickmyadventure.com/episodes/episode-04-gunnar-garfors-visited-every-country-twice

Dagens gjest, Gunnar Garfors, har besøkt alle landene i verden – to ganger. Og han skammer seg ikke. Hva med deg selv? Eier du ikke skam, flyr du med dårlig samvittighet, eller dropper du helt å fly av klimahensyn? Vi diskuterer hva reising bidrar med av både klimagasser og mer positive ting, og så kan du lære litt om hva klimaløsningene for flytrafikken blir. I denne episoden: Gunnar Garfors, Eivind Berstad og Benjamin Strandquist. I Klodebry stiller vi de dumme spørsmålene for deg og snakker om hva som må til for å få oss ut av klimakrisen og miljøproblemene vi står i. Klodebry er laget av Miljøstiftelsen Bellona.

There are only three people who have visited every country twice. Gunnar Garfors from Norway is one, and one of our guests today, Slawek Muturi, is another one with that super rare accomplishment. In fact, he's visited more than 150 countries three times.   The other guest today is Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen, who is very close to visiting her last country. And she's very unique too because she's a single mother who travels with her children. Of the few people who can claim they have gone to every country in the world, only 10% are women – and only three of those women are mothers. Slawek Muturi Slawek has been travelling independently since he was a student as he took to the rails in Europe. His first long overland trip took place in 1989 as he travelled from Poland to Kenya in a Land Rover. Slawek is half Polish – half Kenyan, so this trip connected his two homelands. In 2009, he completed the quest of travelling to every country in the world.  And since then, he has done it one more time. Slawek travels on a shoestring budget, and he likes to travel like a local and only carries a small backpack.  Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen Mette is one of the most-travelled mothers in the world, and as mentioned, most of the time travelling with her three kids. A week after I met Mette in Armenia, she went to Somaliland with her two oldest kids, Lærke and Nicolai. That brought Lærke on 116 countries, one more than me – and I am not 19 years old like her. A few weeks later, Mette went to Eritrea with her youngest daughter, Ella. Next from Armenia In the next episode from Yerevan, Armenia, you can meet Romaine Welds, David Yang and the 77-year-old Odette Ricasa. Romaine from Jamaica, Odette from the Philippines, and David from Taiwan have two things in common. They all just completed the 193 UN Nations list and were the first in their country to do so. So, they were dubbed “The 193 Babies”, and you can meet them all in the next episode. My name is Palle Bo. See you.

Der er så vidt vides kun tre mennesker, der har besøgt alle lande i verden to gange. Gunnar Garfors (som vi havde som gæst her i podcasten for et par uger siden) er en af dem. Slawek Muturi er en af de andre to, og faktisk har han besøgt alle lande mindst to gange. Han har fortalt mig, at han har besøgt mere end 150 lande tre gange. Den anden gæst i denne udsendelse er Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen, som er meget tæt på at nå sit mål om at besøge alle lande. Og hun er meget speciel i den måde hun rejser på, da hun rejser med sine børn. Af de få mennesker, der har været i alle lande, er kun 10% kvinder, og kun tre af disse kvinder er mødre. Slawek Muturi Slawek har rejst siden han som ung, tog på Interrail rundt i Europa. Hans første lange roadtrip var i 1989 da han kørte fra Polen til Kenya i en Land Rover. Slawek er halv polak og halv kenyaner, så med denne tur forbandt han sine to hjemlande. I 2009 nåede han sit mål om at besøge alle lande første gang. Og herefter gjorde han det en gang mere, hvilket der (som nævnt) kun er tre, der har gjort. Slawek rejser på et lille budget, han kan lide at rejse som de lokale og normalt kun med en lille rygsæk. Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen Mette er en af de meste berejste mødre i verden, og som nævnt rejser hun for det meste med en eller flere af sine tre børn. En uge efter jeg mødte Mette i Armenien, tog hun til Somaliland med sine to ældste børn, Lærke og Nicolai, og et par uger senere tog hun til Eritrea med sin yngste datter, Ella. Næste episode fra Armenien I den næste episode fra Jerevan, Armenien, kan du møde Romaine Welds, David Yang og den 77-årige Odette Ricasa. Romaine fra Jamaica, Odette fra Filippinerne og David fra Taiwan har to ting til fælles. De har alle netop fuldført de 193 FN Nationer og de var alle de første i deres hjemland til at gøre det. Så vi døbte dem “The 193 Babies” og du kan møde dem alle i den næste episode. Mit navn er Palle Bo. Vi ses.

My two guests in this episode are Boris Kester from the Netherlands and Gustav Rosted from Denmark. Both of them are really inspiring, even though they are so different. So, welcome to another interesting conversation from Extraordinary Travel Festival in Yerevan, Armenia. Boris Kester Boris has embarked on countless adventures around the world, has developed a habit of picking the least obvious paths, and loves the challenges that come with them. He believes that following his heart brings him the best travel experiences and encounters. He inspires travellers through his travel stories and pictures on TravelAdventures.org and is the author of the book The Long Road To Cullaville. Here, he recounts some of his most memorable adventures to reach his goal of visiting all 193 UN Nations in the world. Gustav Rosted The other guest in this episode is Gustav Rosted. This tall, super blond guy is a 30-year-old Danish traveller who has visited more than 180 countries so far. He is behind the popular YouTube channel Gus1TheGo with more than 281,000 subscribers and 73 million views as of December 2022. He was a promising professional football player and did play for a national team – not the Danish … but we'll get to that. However, he had to stop his football career hold because of some injuries before it really started. Which send him into a midlife crisis in his early 20s… What to do now? He needed another passion project, and that ended up being travel. Gus did a video about the Extraordinary Travel Festival, which you can see on his YouTube channel, Gus1thego. You should really do that if you want to learn more about the event and meet some of the people here. Country Counters Ticking of Boxes? After the episode last week with Charles Veley, I had a listener make this comment on Facebook: ”Sure, this person has “been” to all of these countries … but has he really experienced it? Or just flown in and out of the airport and maybe stayed one night just to check off the boxes and say he's been there? That's not my kind of travel at all but to each his own. I would much rather stay in a place for weeks at a time and get a feel for a place.” This person hadn't listened to the episode, just seen my post about it, and I had to say that for all the people I have as guests in this mini-series, it's about experiencing the beauty of a country and learning about the culture and the way of life. But it is a common misconception about these so-called “Country Counters” that it's all about ticking boxes with only just leaving the airport. And sure, there are some people who see the world that way, but my experience it's in the 1% of country counters.   Next episode from Armenia The next episode from Armenia – that I drop on Sunday will be with another fellow Dane, Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen and half-Polish half-Kenyan, Slawek Muturi. Mette is the most-travelled Danish woman, and she has her own twist in the way she travels. Most of the time she travelling with her children. A few weeks ago, we had Gunnar Garfors on the podcast, who is one of the three people who has visited every country twice. Slawek is another one with that super rare accomplishment. In fact, he's visited all UN states at least twice. He told me that he's visited more than 150 countries three times.   Make sure not to miss the episode with Mette and Slawek. Just click “follow” or “subscribe” in your favourite podcast app, and I'll make sure you get it in time for your Sunday morning coffee. See you in North Carolina on Friday and back in Armenia on Sunday. My name is Palle Bo. See you.

Mine to gæster i denne episode er Boris Kester fra Nederlandene og Gustav Rosted fra Danmark. De er begge enormt inspirerende, men meget forskellige. Så velkommen til endnu en spændende samtale fra Extraordinary Travel Festival in Jerevan, Armenien. Boris Kester Boris har været på mange vanvittige eventyr rundt omkring i verden, og han har lidt af en vane med ikke at tage den lige linje fra A til B. Og det er ikke altid uden udfordringer. Han er typen, der altid følger sit hjerte og at tror på, at det vil give ham de bedste rejseoplevelser. Han deler sine inspirerende rejsehistorier og fantastiske billeder på bloggen TravelAdventures.org, og i sin bog The Long Road To Cullaville, fortæller han om de mest mindeværdige oplevelser han havde i forbindelse med nå sit mål om at besøge alle lande i verden. Gustav Rosted Den anden gæst i denne episode er Gustav Rosted. Denne høje, unge superblonde fyr er en 30-årig dansk fuldtids-rejsende, som på dette tidspunkt har været i 180 af de 193 lande på FN-listen. Du kender ham måske fra den populære YouTube-kanal, Gus1TheGo med mere end 281.000 abonnenter og mere end 73 millioner visninger her i december 2022. Han havde en lovende karriere som professionel fodboldspiller, og opnåede faktisk at spille på U-21 landsholdet. Dog ikke det danske, men det kommer vi til. Han var dog tvunget til at indstille sit liv som professionel spiller på grund af skader, inden den for alvor blev startet. Og det sendte ham ud i en slags midtvejskrise som bare 20-årig. Hvad skulle han nu med sit liv? Han havde brug for at finde en ny passion. Og det blev YouTube og rejser. Gus har lavet en video om Extraordinary Travel Festival, som du kan se på hans YouTube kanal, Gus1thego. Rejser “Lande-tællere” altid hurtigt? Efter episoden for en uge siden med Charles Veley, var der en lytter, der skrev denne kommentar på mit Facebook-opslag. ”Ja, helt sikkert har denne person ”været” i alle disse lande … men har han i virkeligheden oplevet dem. Eller har han blot fløjet ind og ud ad lufthavnen og måske blot taget en ekstra overnatning for at kunne sætte kryds i en box og sige, at han har været der? Det er ikke den måde, jeg har lyst til at rejse, men hver sin smag. Jeg vil meget hellere være et sted i flere uger og få en følelse for et sted”. Det viste sig, at denne person endnu ikke havde hørt episoden – kun læst mit opslag. Og jeg måtte gå ind og kommentere, at for alle mine gæster, i denne miniserie, handler det netop om at opleve det smukke, spændende og anderledes i de lande de besøger. Det handler for dem om at lære noget om kulturen og den måde man lever på. Men det er en udbredt misforståelse om os såkaldte ”lande-tællere” at det udelukkende handler om at sætte et kryds i en box, efter knap nok at have forladt lufthavnen, så man kan sige, at man har været der. Ja, den slags ”country-counters” findes der, men det er min oplevelse, at det et absolut mindretal. Næste episode fra Armenien I den næste episode fra Armenien, som udkommer på søndag, taler jeg med endnu en dansker, Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen og Slawek Muturi, der er halvt polak og halvt kenyaner. Mette er den mest berejste danske kvinde, og hun rejser det meste af tiden med sine børn. For et par uger siden havde vi Gunnar Garfors med her i podcasten. Gunnar er en af de tre eneste mennesker på kloden, der har besøgt alle lande to gange. Slawek er en af de andre to, og faktisk har han besøgt alle lande mindst to gange. Han har fortalt mig, at han har besøgt mere end 150 lande tre gange. Glæd dig til episoden med Mette og Slawek. Hvis du klikker “follow” eller “abonner” i din yndlings-podcast-app, så skal jeg nok sørge for at den ligger klar til at du kan lytte mens du drikker din kaffe søndag morgen. Mit navn er Palle Bo. Vi ses i North Carolina på fredag og tilbage her i Armenien på søndag.

Welcome to another episode with a conversation from Extraordinary Travel Festival in Yerevan, Armenia. Already now, we've met Gunnar Garfors, Ildikó Szabó, and Charles Veley. Three of the few people who have visited every country in the world. One of them even did it twice. Today we will have a theme: Hitchhiking. Meet Francis Tapon and Daniel Shachory. Francis Tapon Francis did a talk at the Extraordinary Travel Festival called, “Five Years of Nonstop Overland Travel To All 54 African Countries: Picking Up 3,000 Hitchhikers & A Bride”. And with several TEDx talks, he knows what he's doing when he's on stage and we were in for a treat. His mother is from Chile, and his father from France, but Francis was born in San Francisco, so he was born with three passports – and almost destined to travel. He is fluent in English, French, and Spanish, and claims that he struggles with Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, and Russian. But I have a feeling he's just modest. Having never been to Africa, he took a boat there and effectively burned it. He vowed not to return home until he had climbed the tallest peak in every African country. He expected that he could do it in three years, but his quest took five years to complete. He managed to get to the peak of 50 of the 54 countries. Also, he picked up 3,000 hitchhikers, found a bride, and nearly killed her and her brother. Now he's in the process of writing a book with 54 chapters – one for each country. He's also the author of Hike Your Own Hike and The Hidden Europe. And then he hosts a podcast called WanderLearn. Daniel Shachory From one person who has picked up a lot of hitchhikers to a guy you can find at the side of the road with his thumb in the air. Daniel Shachory from Los Angeles and MyThumbLife on Instagram and on YouTube. He's on a quest to hitchhike in every country in the world. He does that half of his time – and then the other half he spends back in the United States as an Uber driver. But not just that. Here he's trying to become the first Uber driver that has worked in every state. So, another crazy project. I met Daniel at lunch one day in Yerevan, and even though he's not the most travelled of the guests in this mini-series, I asked him to come on the show because not only is he totally likeable, but he's also got a cool story. And then when he's accomplished some of his crazy projects, I'm able to brag about being one of the first podcasts to have him on my show. Next episode The next episode you can meet Boris Kester, a Dutch traveller who has been to every country in the world and Gustav Rosted, a young Danish travel-YouTuber calling himself Gus1TheGo. My name is Palle Bo. See you.

Velkommen til endnu en episode med samtaler fra Extraordinary Travel Festival i Jerevan, Armenien. Vi har allerede mødt Gunnar Garfors, Ildikó Szabó, og Charles Veley. Tre af de få mennesker på kloden, der har besøgt alle lande. Og en af dem har ovenikøbet gjort det to gange. I dag har vi et tema, der handler om at tomle, når vi taler med Francis Tapon og Daniel Shachory.   Francis Tapon Vi havde fornøjelsen af at opleve et foredrag med Francis på Extraordinary Travel Festival som havde den mundrette titel: “Five Years of Nonstop Overland Travel To All 54 African Countries: Picking Up 3,000 Hitchhikers & A Bride”. Og med adskillige TEDx taler, så ved han, hvad han gør, når han går på scenen, og det var en udsøgt fornøjelse. Hans mor er fra Chile, hans far fra Frankrig, men Francis selv var født i San Francisco, så han blev født med tre pas – og det lå nærmest i kortene, at han skulle rejse. Han er flydende på engelsk, fransk og spansk, og påstår selv, at han kæmper med at tale italiensk, portugisisk, arabisk og russisk. Men jeg har på fornemmelsen, at han bare er beskeden. Da han aldrig havde været i Afrika, besluttede han sig for at gøre det – og som altid gik ”all-in”. Han lovede sig selv, at han ikke ville forlade kontinentet før han havde besøgt alle 54 lande og forsøgt at bestige det højeste punkt i alle lande. Han regnede med at det nok ville tage tre år, men der skulle gå fem inden han var færdig. Det lykkedes ham at bestige det højeste punkt i 50 af de 54 lande, og så valgte han at samle 3.000 afrikanske blaffere op. Han fandt også sin hustru og var næsten skyld i at hun og hendes bror blev dræbt. Nu er han i gang med at skrive en bog med 54 kapitler – et for hvert land. Han har allerede skrevet andre bøger: Hike Your Own Hike og The Hidden Europe, og er vært på sin egen podcast, WanderLearn.   Daniel Shachory Fra en person, der har samlet en masse blaffere op til en fyr, der står i siden af vejen med tomlen i vejret. Daniel Shachory fra Los Angeles og MyThumbLife på Instagram og YouTube har et mål om at blaffe i alle lande i verden. Det gør han halvdelen af tiden, og den anden halvdel er han hjemme i USA for at tjene penge som Uber chauffør. Men også her er han ret anderledes. Han arbejder på at blive den første, der har kørt som Uber chauffør i alle amerikanske stater. Så endnu et vanvittigt projekt. Jeg faldt i snak med Daniel over frokost en af dagene i Jerevan, og selvom han måske endnu ikke er den mest berejste i denne miniserie, så spurgte jeg ham, om han havde lyst til at være gæst hos mig. For ikke alene er han en super-sympatisk ung mand med et meget smittende smil, så har han nogle spændende historier. Og så, når han har gennemført et af sine tossede projekter, vil jeg kunne blære mig med, at jeg var en af de første, der interviewede ham. Næste episode Den næste episode er med Boris Kester fra Nederlandene, som har været i alle lande i verden og Gustav Rosted, en ung dansk YouTuber, der kalder sig Gus1TheGo. Mit navn er Palle Bo. Vi ses.

I'm back with fresh material. I know that I've been away a lot on that front this year, but now I'm back with new episodes from exciting destinations in the beginning of January. We start with a miniseries recorded in Yerevan, Armenia, in October. Here I attended the first-ever Extraordinary Travel Festival and got a chance to speak to some extraordinary travellers. You will get eight episodes between now and the new year. Two episodes every week – and you'll still get flashback episodes every Friday. So, we're going to be busy. Here are the people you can meet in the miniseries: Boris Kester, Charles Veley, Daniel Shachory, David Yang, Francis Tapon, Gus Rosted, Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen, Odette Ricasa, Paul Barbado, Romaine Welds, Slawek Muturi, and Tony Giles. But we start with Hungarian, Ildikó Szabó and Norwegian, Gunnar Garfors.   Ildikó Szabó She was born and raised in the countryside of Hungary and was a late starter in travelling. She was 18 years old when she first left her home country for the first time, and it wasn't until she was almost 22 when she first set foot on a plane. At the age of 25, she went on my first solo trip outside of Europe when she backpacked in China, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and the UAE. And then, she really caught the travel bug and decided to persuade a career in aviation. In 2018, at 36, she achieved her goal of visiting every country in the world as the first Hungarian and amongst one of the youngest female travellers achieving this milestone without any sponsorship.   Gunnar Garfors Apart from being an anagram for Ungarn (Hungary), Gunnar is a journalist, public speaker and bestselling author who has visited every country twice. And he was the first person in the world to do that. He holds many records, but an interesting one is a Guinness World Record that he set in 2012 with Adrian Butterworth by being the first to visit five continents on the same day. Gunnar has written several books, with the first one called “How I ran Out of Countries.” Garfors also writes on his travelblog, garfors.com. Like me, he's worked in the radio industry for many years – in fact, we found out that we've attended the same radio conferences in the past. Now he's funding his life and travels as a writer and a public speaker. He grew up as the oldest of seven children in the tiny village of Naustdal on the Norwegian West Coast. Currently, he lives in Oslo – when he's not on one of his many journeys because he still feels there's a lot to see.   Extraordinary Travel Festival As mentioned, I met Gunnar and Ildikó at the Extraordinary Travel Festival in Yerevan, Armenia. It was the first conference of its kind, and we all agreed it was an incredible event. It's still up in the open where the next Extraordinary Travel Festival will be, but according to Ric Gazarian, who is in charge of organising it, he's working on doing the next one in 2024. I did so many interviews in Yerevan, and in the next episode, we will feature another extreme travel legend, Charles Veley. He did something not many people have done: He got a chance to visit the world's most remote island, Bouvet.   LINKS: GUNNAR GARFORS: Blog: www.garfors.com Facebook: facebook.com/gunnargarfors Instagram: @garfors Twitter: @garfors Watch Gunnar's TEDx Talk   ILDIKÓ SZABÓ: Facebook: Ildikó Szabó Instagram:  @endlesstravelcoma & @endlessgastrocoma Pinterest: @ildikoszabo

Jeg er omsider tilbage med nyt materiale. Jeg ved, at jeg har været væk længe – ud over flashback fredag episoderne, men nu er jeg tilbage med nye episoder fra spændende destinationer. Vi starter dog med en slags julekalender, en miniserie med samtaler, jeg har optaget i Yerevan i Armenien i oktober. Her deltog jeg i den Extraordinary Travel Festival og fik muligheden for at tale med nogle fantastiske mennesker. Du får i alt otte episoder og alle sammen inden Rådhusklokkerne ringer det nye år ind. Og du får stadig flashback episoder hver fredag, så der kommer til at ske en masse. Her er hvem du kan møde i denne miniserie: Boris Kester, Charles Veley, Daniel Shachory, David Yang, Francis Tapon, Gus Rosted, Mette Ehlers Mikkelsen, Odette Ricasa, Paul Barbado, Romaine Welds, Slawek Muturi og Tony Giles. Men vi starter med ungarske Ildikó Szabó og norske Gunnar Garfors. Mit navn er Palle Bo, og dette er Radiovagabond, episode 284. Velkommen til Armenien.     Ildikó Szabó Hun er født og opvokset ude på landet i Ungarn og var faktisk ret sen til at starte med at rejse. Hendes først tur udenfor landets grænser var, da hun var 18 år gammel og hun var næsten 22 inden hun var i et fly for første gang. Da hun var 25 var hun på sin første solotur udenfor Europa, da hun med rygsæk tog til Kina, Thailand, Sri Lanka og de Forenede Arabiske Emirater. Og det var her hun for alvor fik rejsefeber, og startede en karriere i rejsebranchen. I 2018 opnåede hun sit mål om at besøge alle lande i verden, og det var som den første fra Ungarn og som en af de yngste kvinder nogensinde – uden sponsorer. CLIP Gunnar Garfors Udover at være et anagram for Ungarn, er Gunnar journalist, foredragsholder og bedst sælgende forfatter. Han har besøgt alle lande i verden to gange, og han var den første i verden, der gjorde det. Han har mange rekorder, men en af de mere specielle er en Guinness World Record, som han satte i 2012 sammen med Adrian Butterworth. De var de første, der besøgte fem kontinenter på samme dag.   Gunnar har skrevet adskillige bøger, hvor den første har titlen, “How I ran Out of Countries”. Du kan også følge hans skriverier på rejsebloggen, garfors.com. Som mig har han arbejdet i radiobranchen i mange år – og faktisk fandt vi ud af at vi faktisk har deltaget i de samme radiokonferencer flere gange gennem årene. Nu tjener han sine penge som forfatter og foredragsholder. Han voksede op som den ældste af syv børn i en lille landsby, Naustdal på den norske vestkyst. I dag bor han i Oslo – når han da ikke er på en af sine mange rejser, for som han siger, der er stadig så meget af verden han ikke har set endnu.   Extraordinary Travel Festival Som nævnt mødte jeg Gunnar og Ildikó ved Extraordinary Travel Festival i Armeniens hovedstad, Yerevan. Det var første gang konferencen blev afholdt og vi var alle enige om, at det var en fantastisk begivenhed. Det er endnu ikke afgjort, hvor den næste Extraordinary Travel Festival skal foregå, men ifølge arrangøren Ric Gazarian, så planlægger han at afholde den næste i 2024. Jeg havde fornøjelsen af at lave mange interview i Yerevan, og i den næste episode kan du møde endnu en rejse-legende, Charles Veley. Han er en af de få personer i verden, der har besøgt verdens mest fjerntliggende ø, Bouvet.   LINKS: GUNNAR GARFORS: Blog: www.garfors.com Facebook: facebook.com/gunnargarfors Instagram: @garfors Twitter: @garfors Watch Gunnar's TEDx Talk   ILDIKÓ SZABÓ: Facebook: Ildikó Szabó Instagram:  @endlesstravelcoma & @endlessgastrocoma Pinterest

Kven er eigentleg friluftslivet og naturen til for – og kva plass og rolle bør vi menneske innta overfor naturen? Peder Anker er utdanna vitskapshistorikar frå Harvard University og er no professor ved New York University med klima- og miljøhistorie som eitt av sine forskingsfelt. Han er aktuell med boka Livet er best ute. Der tar han lesaren med på ei personleg vandring gjennom friluftslivets historie, kultur og gleder. Gunnar Garfors har reist verda rundt og gjorde i fjor stor suksess med boka Bortom allfarveg. Her viser han veg til stader i Noreg som ingen skulle tru at dei verken skulle høyre om eller besøke. No møtest Anker og Garfors for å snakke om alt frå fordeler og ulemper ved å følgje reiselysta til friluftslivets filosofi. Ordstyrar er Margunn Vikingstad, litteraturkritikar i Morgenbladet.

Jules Verne's famous character, Phileas Fogg, went around the world in 80 days. Pretty impressive in 1872. But times are different in 2021, and the bar is much, much higher. Not only has Gunnar Garfors circumnavigated the globe in just 56 hours, he's also the first person to travel to every country in the world TWO times, visit five continents in a single day, and holds a host of other impressive travel-related records. We talk about his visit to North Korea, how to get fresh perspectives on the same destination, how record-breaking travel differs from leisure travel, and whether credit card points are bullsh*t. We also explore what qualifies as actually “visiting” a country -- and no, a one-hour airport layover doesn't count. In Hot Takes, Eben and Melanie break down the Alec Baldwin incident, dissect the psychology behind read receipts and “ghosting,” and Melanie endorses a presidential candidate for 2024.News of the Day: The most popular candy in the US Are Airbnbs more affordable than hotels?

Did you know that Kiribati has only one cab driver? Learn his name in this episode. Kiribati is also one of the least visited countries on earth and Gunnar Garfors explains why it is so amazing! Garfors spent considerable time of the island while writing his book "Elsewhere" about the 20 least visited countries on earth. Kiribati is a collection of 34 islands spanning a wide stretch of space in the Pacific Ocean. It is hard to get to, as we discuss transport options in this episode, but very worth it!If you like this episode check out the other episodes of the Island Travel Podcast, leave a review, and subscribe on Spotify, iTunes, or Stitcher. The Island Travel Podcast delivers a weekly 15-20 minute episode on a special island.

Gunnar Garfors var den første personen til å besøke alle verdens land – ikke bare en gang, men to ganger. Han er nå aktuell med sin andre bok; Ingenstads. Både boken og denne episoden gir et innblikk i noen av hans mest utrolige minner fra verdens minst besøkte land.

Joined today by world traveler, author and Guinness Book of World record holder, Gunnar Garfos. Gunnar and I talk about his book "198* How I Ran Out of Countries", how he remembered all his stories and when the sequel is coming out. We chat about a random bet with his friend to visit every country in the world and the unique way the bet was paid out over a popular radio show in Norway. We hear about life outside of traveling, working for Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation and playing amateur soccer in Norway. With 198 countries to chat about, Gunnar and I chat about the Gate of Hell in Turkmenistan, the Oceanic countries and even Equatorial Guinea. From spending a night in prison in Niger before being thrown out of the country to a few of his World Records. All this and more with the man who has traveled to every country in the world TWICE. Follow Gunnar here: https://garfors.com/ https://twitter.com/garfors  

Her står tragediene i kø, men det hindrer selvsagt ikke Gunnar Garfors å ta turen inn. Og når en smellvakker ung landsamler fra California ber på sine knær for å være med, må vår mann gå en runde med seg selv. Det er flere deprimerende grunner til at Jemen er verdens minst besøkte land, men fortvil ikke: Globusrulett tar turen for deg. Og ikke alt er elendighet. I Jemen er gjestfriheten stor - og de eier en øy i Adenbukta som vi uten videre vil sammenligne med paradiset på Galapagos-øyene.

Vi får en spennende kikk inn i glasskula; Stjerneforfatter Erika Fatland er mest kjent for reisebøker om Russland og dets grensenaboer samt stan-landene, men neste bok skal handle om høytliggende steder i Himalaya. Hun har gjort unna en større researchreise til blant annet Bhutan, et meget spesielt land der folk er anti-materialistiske og svært fornøyde med tilværelsen. Og de er mer opptatt av bærekraft enn å tiltrekke seg turister. I hovedstaden Thimpu møtte Erika av alle ting en nordmann - selvfølgelig vår egen Gunnar Garfors. Bli med oss til svimlende høyder i Bhutan - ett av tre land i verden du trenger guide for å komme inn i!

Vi reiser «der ingen skulle tru at nokon ville reise». Om det er fordi det er krig som herjer landet, fordi visumreglene er uforståelige eller om det bare er fordi du aldri har hørt om det at du aldri har tatt turen, så har uansett globetrottende forfatter Gunnar Garfors nå gjort det mulig for oss å vurdere det som reisemål. Han har tatt turen for oss, to ganger. Hvorfor og hvordan han gjorde det skal vi selvsagt innom, men det blir samtidig en gyllen anledning til å få greie på toalettfasilitetene i Jemen, badetemperaturene på Kiribati eller hva man for all del burde pakke med seg før man legger i vei på retning mot Tuvalu. På sistnevnte er forøvrig høyeste punkt 2,4 meter over havet, så med mindre man er klimafornekter er denne øynasjonen i Stillehavet en av de det virkelig haster med å få oppleve. Blir nok mye om infrastruktur, kommunikasjonsutfordringer og diarè også, så bare å sæla på. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With Slawek, I have just interviewed my third guest, who has been to every country in the world twice.  With some hasty research, it appears that Babis Bizas was the first in December of 2018, followed by Gunnar Garfors by only a couple of days later, and Slawek finished in September of 2019 in Japan.  Slawek also plans a journey to visit all of the countries for a third time. We touch on this and so much more.           I encourage you to subscribe wherever you listen, Apple Podcast, Google Play, or Spotify and write a review, even better when it is 5 stars.  Since we all love stats, Counting Countries has now been downloaded in 199 countries. So I would like to give a shout out to fans in PNG, Guinea, and Turkmenistan.  And, no, I am not sure how they define a country.    Slawek was in Poland and I was in Boston for the interview.  Also, I want to thank Slawek for his patience in regard to multiple technical issues during the recording.  Please listen in and enjoy.    Thank you to my Patrons ….

Life in Norway Show Episode 29: Gunnar Garfors is a Norwegian journalist who has visited every country in the world - twice! He tells us about what he's learned from travelling the world. Since the Viking Age, Norwegians have been known as travellers, but today's guest takes things a step further. Today I'm joined by Gunnar Garfors, a Norwegian journalist, globetrotter, and author of the book How I Ran Out Of Countries. We talk about where his ambition came from, what his travels have taught him about Norway's place in the world, and where in the world he thinks are the most interesting and overrated places to travel.

Gunnar Garfors er to ganger verdensmester, og var den første til å reise til alle verdens land to ganger! Nå er han aktuell med sin siste bok: «Ingen stad – på tur til verdas minst besøkte land»

Gunnar Garfors is a Norwegian media professional, traveller, and author who has circumnavigated the globe, visiting every country in the world. Not once, but twice! Author of Nowhere, his newest book walks us through the 20 least visited countries in the world. The first time for Gunnar Garfors was on May 8th, 2013. He entered the 198th and last country, Cape Verde, as a 37 years-and-344-days-old, which made him the youngest person to visit all the countries of the world while working full-time, or as a hobby traveller. Recently, he became the first person to have visited every country in the world TWICE. Consequently, while accomplishing this amazing feat, he has set several Guinness World Records.   Guinness World Record ~ 5 Countries on 5 Continents in just one day ~ 19 Countries in 24 hours ~ 22 US states in 24 hours   Travel Changes You Gunnar Garfors says he's a Globetrotter and seeing the world has opened his eyes in so many ways that he would like to inspire others to do the same, or at least travel more.  We hear that a lot from our guests that are avid travellers. They all agree, Travel Changes You! And almost always for the best!   Travel Makes People Unite We've had some pretty awesome guests on our show. With Mikkel being such an avid traveller himself, he loves to hear stories about exotic and unknown countries. In https://expatmoneyshow.com/doug-casey-anarcho-capitalist-speculator-autobiography/ (Ep 60: Doug Casey) or https://expatmoneyshow.com/frank-bures-world-renowned-freelance-writer/https://expatmoneyshow.com/frank-bures-world-renowned-freelance-writer/ (Ep: Frank Bures) - we talk about dangerous adventures in Africa, really a fascinating episode. If you haven't listened in yet, definitely go back and enjoy!   Nowhere - The 20 Least Visited Countries in the World Gunnar Garfors newest book, Nowhere - The 20 Least Visited Countries is due in Norway bookstores this April. The rest of the world will have to wait until later this year! The concept behind his new book Nowhere is to showcase the 20 least visited countries in the world.   Mikkel does his very best to figure out which 20 countries out of 198 are the least visited! It's quite funny really as Mikkel manages to figure out about 1/2 of them. Gunnar Garfors talks about a few in this wonderful interview. He recounts stories of how he got into some of these war-torn countries and lived to tell the tale. Countries like Comoros, Africa getting 28,000 visitors a year. Why don't more visit this tiny island nation? What's there to attract tourism? What can be done to bring more tourists?   If countries like Comoros, or any other island nation interests you, you must go back and listen to https://expatmoneyshow.com/james-ellsmoor-renewable-energy/ (Ep 031: James Ellsmoor) as he talks about small island nations and the problems that they deal with today.   We talk about the South Pacific. Countries you may not have heard of, and why most don't go for a visit. It's usually not that they are not beautiful in their own right, it's usually infrastructure, government policies, etc.   Have you always wondered what countries like Iran and North Korea would be like to visit? Mikkel and Gunnar have both been...fascinating how they both felt the same about these two beautiful countries.   How about South Sudan, Yemen or Somalia? What does it take to enter into these countries? Are you somewhat interested? Have the wars destroyed the natural beauty of the landscape? Gunnar has been twice, to all of these countries and has found in some cases, drastic changes from the first visit to the last visit.   Books by Gunnar Garfors... Support this podcast

Download Episode! At the age of 24, Eric visited his last UN country beating Guinness World Record Holder, James Asquith.   Eric grew up in northern California, the son of Vietnamese immigrants.  He had the opportunity of international travel with his family growing up.  But his travel began in earnest when he went backpacking in East and Southeast Asia when he was just 18.  He was inspired to visit every country in the world and attempt to break the world record for three reasons.  First, Eric was inspired by world traveler and former guest, Gunnar Garfors.  Second, Eric learned about James Asquith, the Guinness World Record Holder at the time, the youngest person to travel to every country in the world.  But the final catalyst was a meeting with his college professor who encouraged him to see the world when he was young. Eric at times threw caution into the wind when pursuing his quest.  He couchsurfed in Libya, while local militias learned of his presence.  He had a very challenging time in West Africa.  He was in a motorcycle accident.  Eric also caught malaria and was robbed while he recovered in his hospital room.  Eric crossed into Yemen at the Omani border.  Later, he attempted to return to Oman, but was denied entry.  For five days, Eric was held in a detention center at the border.  Eric celebrated in May when he arrived in his last country of Eritrea.   Subscribe on iTunes today!

Gunnar Garfors har reist til alle verdens 198 land, målrettet og ved siden av full jobb. Og han er ikke alene. Så hva var mer naturlig enn å invitere ham i studio for å spørre: - Hva er det som driver disse superreiserne? Han forteller også mye om hva han har lært av å reise til 198 land, blant annet hvorfor han aldri bruker guidebok, og hvordan han har råd til å reise så mye. Han tar oss også med på mellomlandinger i Vatikanstaten, Sunnfjord, Kirgisistan, Turkmenistan - og amerikanere på tur. I tillegg får du gode tips til hvordan du kan pakke mindre, og får høre litt velfortjent ris til en kjip regel på noen flygninger.

Gunnar Garfors is a journalist, and author who set a world record for traveling to 5 continents in the same day and then another record by visiting 19 countries in 24 hours. Previous to that last record he had travelled to every country in the world at a much more relaxed pace, while keeping his full time job.    Habit of Thought:   “I seize the day based on what's around me.” “Why not? I might as well try it.”   “I only have one life”    “Easy is boring” “Planning too much can ruin your experience”    Habit of Action: “I go running at least a couple of times a week and I do a lot of thinking during those times.”   I have to think ahead... to keep costs down... but I try not to plan TOO much.    “I only travel with hand luggage”   “Always travel with a suit jacket” (The       Greatest area of strength: “I don't give up when I've decided to do something.” Training for this area:   First of all, it's about not panicking.   We will figure out a way to handle this.    Always have a plan ‘B'   Book:   198: How I Ran Out of Countries - Gunnar Garfors   Shantaram: A Novel - Gregory David Roberts   Web Resource:   www.garfors.com    Contact: http://www.garfors.com/2013/01/contact.html
