Five years ago I came across a blog called The Art of Non-Conformity. What pulled me in was my passion for travel of course. The author was on an ambitious quest to travel to every country in the world before the age of 35. He also talked about pursuing personal passions while striving to make the world a better place. Since then Chris Guillebeau has not only completed his goal to travel to all 193 countries, but he’s also published three books, his second becoming a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller with more than 300,000 copies sold world wide!Earlier this month, I headed down to my old stomping ground in Old City Philadelphia to shoot Chris’s book signing and listen to him discuss his latest book, The Happiness of Pursuit, which debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at #3. His talk was followed by a brief Q&A with readers at Indy Hall where he answered questions about the book, his travels and his life. Chris was kind enough to answer some questions for me over at Mortal Muses too if you’d like to learn more!If you’re interested in hearing Chris speak too, he’s currently on a tour across the United States and Canada. Head over to his events page to learn more.
