276: Mikkel’s Travel Chronicles – Unforgettable Adventures
This past year has been full of great opportunities to visit a bunch of new countries.
Longtime listeners know how much I love travelling and exploring the world, so I thought we would give you a bit of a highlight reel of some of the places that I got to see and some of the insights that I learned from the past year of travels.
As you all know, I don’t pull punches or mince words – so this episode features stories of all varieties – the good, the bad and yes, even the ugly. Enjoy!

CONCLUSION
This year has been one of the most active travel years I’ve had in recent memory, and certainly the most travel I’ve done since the ‘scamdemic.’ And I got to inch closer to my goal of visiting every country in the world with first-time visits to places like Armenia, Azerbaijan and Paraguay.
I am just beginning to make plans for various exploratory trips and client tours for 2024, and you can rest assured you’ll hear about all of them right here on the Expat Money Show. See you all next Wednesday!
