Hello and welcome to number 121! This week I am joined by Ric Gazarian who is on a mission to travel to every UN country in the world (193). Ric hosts the Counting Countries Podcast which interviews people whose mission is to travel to every UN country. Ric has a website called GlobalGaz which has his blogs, books, films and access to all the information about Ric's travels. Last year he hosted the Extraordinary Travel Festival with the 2nd edition being in 2024 and this now drives his time alongside his travels and podcast. Check out Ric's stuff below!

Thanks to Laura Hammond for supporting this podcast, she does so by purchasing a membership every month on my Patreon. You can support too by checking out the details below!

Enjoy and be inspired!

Thanks for supporting the podcast! I don't believe in offering more stuff for people who can afford to pay so what I will offer however is a shout-out on my episodes and in my show notes too as thanks for supporting the podcast. I will even send you some trendy stickers to you (if you wish) via the post and you will get my digital travel planner by email as a PDF (it is editable). Thanks again for keeping this podcast alive!
