Key Links Listen with --------------------------------------- On today\u2019s episode, I spoke with Bob Bonifas. \xa0I have seen Bob\u2019s name on the top of the Most Traveled People\u2019s list. \xa0MTP divides the world into 874 places and Bob is currently ranked #2 on the list. \xa0I had the opportunity to visit Bob in his office in Aurora, a suburb of Chicago. His spacious office was filled with a ton of \xa0travel mementos. Bob did not take his first flight until the age of 30, but since then he has racked up several million plus miles and then some. \xa0Bob founded Alarm Detection Systems and became involved with the industry associations. With his involvement in the association he began to travel more and more, expanding his horizons. \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 Bob learned about Travelers\u2019 Century Club and MTP and being a Type A personality he quickly became hooked on travel. \xa0He rapidly picked up new countries and territories, moving up on the list. He is now in a friendly competition with his IL neighbor, Don Parrish, who is ranked #1. Bob touches on the great difficulty of finishing of the MTP list as you near the end. \xa0Many of his final territories are remote or require permission to visit. These trips tend to be expensive. \xa0And very frustratingly, the visit is not guaranteed. Many of these territory visits are accomplished by ship, and sometimes the oceans are so rough, it is not possible to land. \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 I encourage you to subscribe wherever you listen, Apple Podcast, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify and of course if you like the program, feel free write a review like Swissdogg from the US did. \xa0\u201cAs an avid traveler myself...Rick and his guests are an inspiration.
