Johnny has been collecting amazing travel experiences as he travels to every country in the world.  

Johnny started his travel adventures straight out of university on an incredibly low budget. He shares with us his stories of illegally entering China via the Mekong River on a Chinese cargo boat to backpacking in Africa for months on $15 a day.  Over time, he created a million dollar business as he nears completing his goal of traveling to all 193 countries.
