He's Been To 120 Countries (And He's Not Done Yet)
What do you do after selling your tech company and retiring early? If you're Malcolm Teasdale, you get "bored stupid" at home then decide to visit every country on the planet.
Malcolm has been to 120 countries (100+ with overnight stays), every continent except Antarctica, and he's not slowing down. Born and raised in Coventry, England, he built a technology startup, expanded it across North America and Asia (living in Singapore for two years), then sold the company in 2013. After retirement, he traded business travel for adventure travel and became a self-proclaimed "travel addict."
Now Malcolm speaks on 7-8 different cruise lines, has written seven travel books, and hosts "The Travel Addict" and "Two Brits in America" podcasts. His adventures? Trekking the Himalayas, camping in the Mongolian wilderness with nomadic families, diving in the most biodiverse marine parks on Earth, climbing 10,500 feet to Tiger's Nest Monastery in Bhutan, and visiting the northernmost human settlement in the world Svalbard, where 2,000 people live alongside 3,500 polar bears.
Host Sean Kling digs into Malcolm's incredible journey from WWII veteran parents in bomb-ravaged Coventry to world traveler, cruise ship speaker, and published author. They explore his favorite countries, craziest cruise stories, scuba diving at 130 feet in shark habitat, swimming with whale sharks, and his philosophy on living without regrets.
