To say Francis Tapon is a traveler is an under-statment. He’s more of a guru whose committed his life to seeing every little corner of the world. Mostly by foot. He’s walked the two major trails in North America, one of which took him 5,000 miles south into Mexico, and he spent five years walking through Africa, stopping along the way in various areas in an attempt to gain a better understanding of the human condition that exists elsewhere than from where he was born. While on his journey he met his wife and realized that he had found his calling. Now, Francis has dedicated himself to traveling the world, writing and hosting a podcast on which he discusses his exploits and provides advice for those looking to embark on trans-continental journeys.
