Journey to Every Country with the World's Most Traveled Man & Creator of Nomadmania, Harry Mitsidis #57

Kim Anderson Episode 57

Join us on a captivating journey this week with Harry Mitsidis, the legendary traveler who has visited every country not once, but twice, making history as one of the few to achieve this extraordinary feat.

As the founder of NomadMania, a vibrant community for the travel-obsessed, Harry seeks out the world's most offbeat and historically complex destinations.

In this episode, Harry shares tales from his travels with the warmth and eloquence of a true world nomad. From navigating the globe’s most remote borderlands to diving into the heart of cultures that many deem dangerous, Harry’s stories are a testament to the beauty of human connection and the adventurous spirit that drives us to explore.

Harry’s insights are not just about the places he’s visited but about the bonds formed and the responsibility we carry as travelers to be stewards of the places we visit and ambassadors of our home nations.

Lighthearted yet deeply insightful, this conversation is a reminder of why we travel: to bring out the best in ourselves and to find it mirrored in the people we meet, no matter where in the world we are.

This episode is more than a travel story; it’s a journey of the heart.
