Key Links \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 Today, I speak with Slawek Muturi, a truly fascinating and impressive traveler.\xa0 The more I researched Slawek, the more I was looking forward to our conversation.\xa0 He is a successful individual, whether it is business or travel.\xa0\xa0 Counting Countries is offering its first group tour to Madagascar in August of 2020.\xa0 Please reach out to me with any questions on this trip.

With Slawek, I have just interviewed my third guest, who has been to every country in the world twice.\xa0 With some hasty research, it appears that Babis Bizas was the first in December of 2018, followed by Gunnar Garfors by only a couple of days later, and Slawek finished in September of 2019 in Japan.\xa0 Slawek also plans a journey to visit all of the countries for a third time. We touch on this and so much more.\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0 I encourage you to subscribe wherever you listen, Apple Podcast, Google Play, or Spotify and write a review, even better when it is 5 stars.\xa0 Since we all love stats, Counting Countries has now been downloaded in 199 countries. So I would like to give a shout out to fans in PNG, Guinea, and Turkmenistan.\xa0 And, no, I am not sure how they define a country.\xa0\xa0\xa0 Slawek was in Poland and I was in Boston for the interview.\xa0 Also, I want to thank Slawek for his patience in regard to multiple technical issues during the recording.\xa0 Please listen in and enjoy.\xa0\xa0\xa0 Thank you to my Patrons \u2026.
