Here’s something most people don’t realise: about 700 people have flown to space… but only a 400 of travellers have ever completed the monumental journey of visiting every country on Earth. And that alone tells you how rare, demanding, and fascinating these journeys are — not just logistically, but emotionally, culturally, and personally.
Travel has shaped me in ways I’m still discovering. The moments I remember most aren’t the landmarks or the “Instagram spots” — it’s the strangers who became friends, the conversations that shifted my perspective, the small surprises that rewired how I see the world. And I’ve always wondered:
What does someone learn when they take travel to the absolute extreme — every country, every culture, every border?
What does the world look like through the eyes of someone who has eaten in remote homes, crossed oceans on cargo ships, slept through border delays, navigated conflict zones, and collected more human stories than most people hear in a lifetime?
That curiosity is the heart of my new series.
I’ll be speaking with some of the few people who’ve completed this unbelievable journey. We’ll explore their biggest lessons, their hardest moments, the kindness they encountered, the stereotypes that shattered, the crazy stories that could only happen on the road — and how travel shaped their identity in ways no book or classroom ever could.
Each conversation will be shared as both a video interview and a written blog, where I reflect on what surprised me, what inspired me, and what I personally take forward into my own travels.
This series isn’t about counting countries. It’s about understanding the world through the travellers who’ve seen all of it — the highlights, the hardships, and the humanity.
Welcome to a journey across the entire planet — one conversation at a time.
“The world doesn’t get smaller when you travel — it gets deeper.”
