## Resource

Avi Ivan Counting Countries has been to every 166 countries Hey now, I am your host, Ric Gazarian. In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Avi Ivan, who I just met at the TCC meeting in Hanoi. And when he decided to attend ETF I thought it would be a great opportunity to bring him on as a guest and get to learn his story. I was in Boston while Avi was in Miami for this recording. Please listen in and enjoy. 🙏 Patron Shoutout I would like to thank everyone for their support of Counting Countries, especially my Patrons. You know them, you love them!

Stefan is known to so many in the community. First as the founder of Every Passport Stamp. A community that has made such a big and positive impact on so many of our lives as travelers. It was my key to unlock so many challenging countries. Stefan has been to all 193 and has been a guest twice on CC. Thanks to Avi and Stefan.
