Breaking Barriers and Traveling the World Alone We've got one more conversation from Extraordinary Travel Festival, and I don't think I'm offending any of my other guests by saying that I've saved the best for last. In fact, I'm sure they'd all agree. Because the guest today is not only an inspiration for us all and especially someone who would say, “oh, I can't go there alone because of this, that, or the other”. 100% Blind and 80% Deaf Out of all the extreme travellers I met at the festival, my last guest in this miniseries with interviews from Armenia totally stands out. He's very well-travelled – he had been to 128 UN Nations when I met him in October, but that's not what makes him unique. Tony is totally blind and 80% deaf in both ears. But that doesn't stop him from seeing the world. Most of the time, he travels alone. He doesn't have a seeing-eye dog or an aid to warn him where there's an obstacle or a hole in the pavement … or which local bus to get on, even in countries where most people don't speak English. How and Why? The first time I heard of him, I thought of two questions: First of all, why? He can't possibly get anything out of it when he can't see the view. And secondly: How is that even possible? Listen to the episode to hear that Tony gets so much out of his travels – which aligns very well with the rest of us: Meeting the locals, and learning about their way of living and the sounds and the smells of the place. Everything except the one thing of being able to see the place. The Power of the Senses Tony has a special gift. He's able to sense a room without being able to see it. And I test that when I ask him to describe the room we're in. A room he's never seen. Hear how he gets it spot-on. Tony the Author Tony has written and published three eBooks about his adventures: “Seeing the World My Way”, “Seeing the Americas My Way”, and “Seeing a Slice of Southern Africa My Way”. You can order the books on Tony's website, TonyTheTraveller.com. He's also a public speaker. See his TEDx talk here. Two more episodes this year That's almost this for this episode and almost all for this year, except for a Flashback Friday from The Philippines and another raw and uncut Vagabond Diary from Sydney on the last day of 2022. We start the new year with several episodes from my visit to Saudi Arabia. And much more. I have so many plans with The Radio Vagabond in 2023, and I'm going to throw a lot more in your direction. So, make sure to click Follow or Subscribe or whatever it's called in your podcast app. I hope you can sense that I put a lot of work into producing this podcast, and I want to thank you so much for being with me on my journey. If you want to give me a Christmas present this year, it would be doing a review in your app or sharing it with your friends. Simply just send a message to one of your friends who like to travel and tell them about The Radio Vagabond. Or share the player that I have for each episode on Facebook.com/TheRadioVagabond.

Nedbryder grænser og rejser verden rundt alene Vi har en sidste samtale fra Extraordinary Travel Festival, og jeg tror ikke, jeg fornærmer nogle af de tidligere gæster ved at sige, at vi har gemt den bedste til sidst. Faktisk er jeg helt sikker på, at de alle vil være enige. For dagens gæst er ikke alene en inspiration for os alle, og især alle der siger, ”jeg kan ikke rejse alene fordi dit og dat”. 100% blind og 80% døv Af alle de ekstremt-rejsende, jeg mødte ved denne festival, skiller min sidste gæst sig meget ud. Han er berejst (har været i 128 lande, da jeg mødte ham i oktober), men det er ikke det, der gør ham speciel. Han er totalt blind og 80% døv på begge ører. Det stopper ham dog ikke i at se verden. For det meste rejser han alene. Han har ikke en førerhund eller en medhjælper ved sin side til at advare ham om en forhindring eller et hul i fortovet. Eller fortælle ham, hvilken lokal bus han skal med, selv i lande, hvor de færreste taler engelsk. Hvorfor og hvordan? Første gang, jeg hørte om Tony, var der to spørgsmål, der rumsterede i mit hoved: For det første, hvorfor? Kan han overhovedet få noget ud af det, når han ikke kan se noget. Og mit andet spørgsmål: Hvordan i alverden er det muligt? Lyt til episoden og hør Tony fortælle om, at han får meget ud af at rejse; noget, der ligner meget, hvad vi andre får ud af det. Møde de lokale, lære noget om deres måde at leve på, opleve lydene og duftene på et sted. Alt sammen det samme som os, med den lille detalje, at vi er i stand til at se, hvordan ting ser ud. Udvidede sanser Tony har en speciel evne. Han er i stand til at fornemme et lokale uden at være i stand til at se det. Om jeg giver ham en udfordring om at beskrive det lokale vi sidder i. Et lokale, han naturligvis aldrig har set. Hør hvordan han rammer plet. Forfatteren Tony Tony har udgivet tre e-bøger om sine eventyr: “Seeing the World My Way”, “Seeing the Americas My Way”, og “Seeing a Slice of Southern Africa My Way”. Du kan bestille bøgerne på Tonys hjemmeside, TonyTheTraveller.com. To episoder mere i år Det var næsten det hele for denne episode, og også næsten alt for i år. Det vil sige, du får stadig en Flashback fredag (den er fra Filippinerne) og endnu en rå og uredigeret Vagabond Dagbog fra Sydney, hvor jeg er nu. Den kommer på årets sidste dag. Vi kommer til at starte det nye år med flere episoder fra mit besøg i Saudi Arabien. Og så meget mere, for jeg har rigtig mange planer med Radiovagabond, og jeg kommer til at kaste en masse mere i din retning i det nye år. Så sørg for at du har klikket på ”follow”, ”subscribe” eller hvad det nu ellers hedder i din foretrukne podcast app. Jeg håber, du kan fornemme, at jeg lægger en masse energi i at producere Radiovagabond, og du skal mange, mange tak for at du er med mig på rejsen. Hvis du vil give mig en julegave i år, så skulle det være, at du giver mig fem stjerner og en lille anmeldelse i din podcast app, og deler den med dine venner. Du kan simpelthen bare sende en kort besked til en af dine venner, som ka' li' at rejse. Eller deler den player, jeg lægger ud for hver episode på Facebook.com/TheRadioVagabond. Mit navn er Palle Bo.

Bringing the World to the Masses Today we're speaking to the man behind the YouTube channel "Geography Now". It's a fun and informative destination for anyone interested in learning about the countries and territories of the world. The channel has a large and dedicated following with over 3 million subscribers and 400 million views. Each episode of "Geography Now" focuses on a specific country, providing an in-depth look at its culture, history, geography, and relationship with other countries. Paul Barbado aka Barbs started with Afghanistan and is getting closer to the last country, Zimbabwe. Making Geography Fun and Accessible for All Its approachable and entertaining style sets "Geography Now" apart from other educational channels. Paul's enthusiasm for his subject is infectious, and he presents complex information in a way that is both engaging and easy to understand. His use of humour and pop culture references adds an element of fun to the learning experience, making it a hit with viewers of all ages. In addition to its main series, "Geography Now" also offers bonus episodes on various topics, such as the geography of food, flags, or the history of cartography. These episodes provide a deeper look at specific aspects of geography and allow Paul and his team to delve into more specialized subjects. Overall, "Geography Now" is a valuable resource for anyone looking to learn more about the diverse and fascinating countries of the world. Whether you're a student, a teacher, or just someone with a love of geography, this channel has something to offer. The future for Paul Barbado Paul is getting closer to the last country, Zimbabwe, and he says that once he's there, he wants to travel and see the world. “Honestly, I want to take a break. I've been talking about the world for about eight years, and it's probably going to be nine or ten years by the time I'm done. Yeah, I want to take a break and see it. I've been talking about the world for so long; it's about time to go out and actually see it. He also says that he wants to do travel videos from his trips. And I do believe that he's already kind of doing it. He started doing episodes that he calls “GEO GO”, and since I met him, he actually did one from Armenia. These are also incredible. Email from a listener I have received an email from Spanish Berte, who wanted to let me know that my episodes from Cape Town and The Garden Route inspired her and her boyfriend. She writes: Hi Palle,  Don't ask how we found your podcast, but we did "just in time" as we (my boyfriend and me) are "finishing" a two-month Cape Town stay (working and exploring the city and surroundings) with three days on Garden Route from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and back.  Just letting you know that I LOVE your podcast as it was just a "copy-paste" of your trip of tons of moments that we lived in the last 2,5 months.  I would be more than excited to hear from you.  Have a good one,  Cheers,  Berte Thanks, Berte. I'm glad to hear from you and super-stoked that you were inspired. If you also want to drop me a line, please do. Go to theradiovagabond.com/contact and see how. Next Episode from Armenia We have one more interview episode from Armenia coming up in a few days. That one is with a remarkable traveller. And I don't think I'm offending any of my other guests by saying that I've saved the best for last. In fact, I'm sure they'd all agree. Tony Giles is very well-travelled – he'd been to 128 UN Nations when I met him in October, but that's not what makes him unique. He's 100% blind and 80% deaf on both ears. But that doesn't stop him from seeing the world, travelling solo. Hear why he does that and how it's possible. You will be blown away. My name is Palle Bo. See you.

Bringer verden til masserne I dag møder vi manden bag YouTube kanalen "Geography Now". Det er en sjov og vildt informativ kanal for alle, der gerne vil lære noget om lande rundt omkring i verden. Kanalen er kæmpestor og har mere en 3 millioner subscribere og mere end 400 millioner visninger. Hver episode af "Geography Now" fokuserer på et specifikt land, og går i dybden med dets kultur, historie, geografi og forhold til andre lande. Paul startede med Afghanistan og er tæt på at nå det sidste land Zimbabwe. Gør geografi-undervisning sjov og tilgængelig for alle Noget af det, der gør "Geography Now" anderledes end andre kanaler, der lærer om geografi, er den nærværende og underholdende stil. Pauls begejstring for geografi skinner igennem og smitter os, der sidder på den anden side af skærmen. Han præsenterer kompleks information på en måde, der drager os ind og er let at forstå. Han bruger humor og referencer til popkultur, hvilket er med til at gøre kanalen et hit for følgere i alle aldre. Ud over lande-episoderne i ”Geography Now”, kan man også se en masse bonusepisoder med forskellige emner. Om mad, historie, kort og flag. Her dykker Paul og hans team mere i dybden. Alt i alt er "Geography Now" en fantastisk kanal for alle, der vil lære noget om spændende ting om alle lande i verden. Uanset om man er studerende, lærer eller bare en, der er lidt af en geografi-nørd som mig, så har kanalen meget at byde på. Fremtiden for Paul Barbado Paul er tæt på at lave videoen for det sidste land, Zimbabwe, og han fortæller, at han så vil til at rejse mere og se verden. ”Helt ærlig, så vil jeg tage en pause. Jeg har snakket om verden i omkring otte år, og det vil nok være ni-ti år inden jeg er færdig. Ja, jeg vil tage en pause og se verden. Jeg har snakket om den så længe, så nu er det på tide, at jeg rent faktisk ser den.” Han fortæller også, at han nok vil til at lave rejsevideoer fra sine ture. Og jeg har på fornemmelsen, at han er allerede tyvstartet. Han laver nu en serie på kanalen, som han kalder ”GEO GO”, og siden jeg mødte ham, har han faktisk lavet en video fra Armenien. Også disse videoer er fantastiske. E-mail fra en lytter Denne kommer fra spanske Berte, som ville fortælle mig, at hun og hendes kæreste blev inspireret af mine episoder fra Cape Town og Garden Route. Hun skriver: Hej Palle, Spørg mig ikke, hvordan vi fandt din podcast, men vi gjorde det i tide inden vi (min kæreste og jeg) var ved at afslutte et to måneders ophold i Cape Town, hvor vi arbejdede og udforskede byen og omgivelserne, inden vi tog på en tredages køretur fra Cape Town til Port Elizabeth og tilbage. Jeg vil bare fortælle dig, at jeg ELSKER din podcast og det var en ren "copy-paste" af din tur med tonsvis af oplevelser i de seneste 2,5 måned. Jeg vil blive glad for at høre fra dig. Hav en fortsat god dag, Berte Mange tak Berte. Fedt at høre fra dig og jeg er glad for at I blev inspireret. Hvis du også vil sende mig en e-mail, så må du meget gerne. Gå til Radiovagabond.dk/kontakt og se, hvordan du gør. Næste episode fra Armenien Vi har en enkelt episode mere fra Armenien, som kommer om et par dage. Og den er med en helt ekstraordinær rejsende. Jeg tror ikke, jeg fornærmer nogen af de andre gæster ved at sige, at jeg har gemt den bedste til sidst. Faktisk er jeg sikker på, at de alle vil være enige med mig. Tony Giles er meget berejst – han har været i 128 FN-Nationer, da jeg mødte ham i oktober. Men det er ikke det, der gør ham speciel. Han er 100% blind og 80% døv på begge ører. Det er dog ikke noget, der stopper ham i at se verden, mens han rejser alene. Hør hvad han får ud af det og om, hvordan det i det hele taget er muligt. Det er en vild historie. Mit navn er Palle Bo.

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

His ultimate goal is to travel to every country in the world. In an interview with Forbes, Tony said : “people who say they'd like to travel but have family, a job, a mortgage, are simply making excuses. Anyone can travel if they really want to.
