About this episode
I'm celebrating the 350th podcast episode with Michael Zervos! He did it!Many people try to travel to all the countries in the world quickly, but most fail.Therefore, when I met Zervos in Côte d'Ivoire in February 2024, when he was just 10% into his race, it seemed highly unlikely that he would succeed where so many others had failed.Still, there was something about Zervos that made me believe he would pull off this stunt. Although many things impressed me about Zervos, the most important was his level of organization. He had secured valuable sponsors who would help him get visas, which is the biggest bottleneck in this quest. As someone who has visited 127 countries, I know how visas limit you more than money. Having two passports would help in obtaining visas, although he did most of the journey with only his US passport.After completing his quest, Zervos and I discussed the following topics:00:00 The stats03:00 Deported from Nicaragua6:16 Two other surprises10:45 One regret12:45 Where to revisit 16:30 Where not revisitVideohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfprfrcYrvUPodcast Michael Zervos has visited every country faster than anyone else while recounting the happiest moments in people's lives.
