At age 24, he got the World Record for the youngest man in the world to travel to all 196 countries in the world, he's an author, an ex-investment banker and the CEO of Holiday Swap.

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!
