EPoP 041: The Hidden Europe and the Unseen Africa with Francis Tapon

Francis-Tapon-podcast

 Europe.

The word conjures up images of Paris, London, and Rome.

But what about Ljubljana, Sofia, and Kotor?

Africa.  

Pyramids in Egypt and safaris in Kenya.

But what about Guinea, Burkina Faso, and Zambia?

Six years ago, Francis Tapon set out to pull back the curtain on Eastern Europe and entice travelers around the world to explore the “hidden” side of Europe.

25 countries later, he documented his experience in the amazing book, “The Hidden Europe.”

Now, he’s set off on an even bolder mission.  To visit all 54 countries in Africa and to film the entire journey, turning the adventure into a full-length TV show and revealing a side of Africa few are familiar with.

In today’s episode, Francis talks about how he’s able to afford to continuously travel, reveals some of the lessons that Eastern Europe can teach us, and discusses Unseen Africa and why he’s tackling such an incredible project.
