In this episode, we’re circling back with award-winning writer and artist Ben Hatke to check in after his round-the-world adventure. Inspired by Phileas Fogg’s “Around the World in 80 Days,” Ben embarked on a bold plan to circumnavigate the globe using (almost) only surface transportation.
In our conversation, Ben shares about some emotional moments, like the last few miles on familiar railroad tracks, and his adventurous eastward route. You’ll hear about a spontaneous 30-hour train ride in Kazakhstan that turned into a memorable cultural experience, reminding us how travel can surprise us in the best ways.
