Over 50 Countries and 7 Continents: Experiencing the World with David Axelrod

About this episode

"We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us."

Today's guest embodies this very mindset, this way of living life differently. And it's honestly no real surprise...

When you've traveled the world, experienced life in over 50 countries and stepped foot on all 7 continents you can't help but gain a greater appreciation for life.

David Axelrod is a 7-continent explorer and professional globonaut whose lifelong travel obsession has taken him to over 50 countries. He is regularly featured by travel and hospitality brands such as AFAR, Fodor’s, Exclusive Resorts, Matador Network, and Relais & Châteaux.

A sought-after travel consultant, speaker, and leisure champion, he helps freedom-seekers design their ideal trip. When he’s not planning getaways, he’s making smoothie bowls and frolicking with his bernedoodle in Seattle.

David's book, Get Away! provides the confidence and step-by-step guidance you need to design a vacation that is a truly transformative travel experience.

All of this and more is inside of today's podcast!
