Summary

Today on the podcast I'm excited to welcome Lexie Alford, better known as Lexie Limitless - the youngest person to travel to every country in the world! At just 21, Lexie shattered the Guinness World Record, but that was only the beginning of her incredible journey. Since then, she's become a renowned travel documentarian, sharing raw and honest stories from the most remote corners of our planet. From navigating war zones to discovering hidden cultural gems, Lexie breaks down what it really takes to chase seemingly impossible dreams and how travel has shaped her perspective on humanity. We dive into her most harrowing adventures, the realities of solo female travel, and why pushing past our comfort zones leads to the most meaningful experiences. This conversation will challenge everything you think you know about what's possible in life – and might just inspire your next adventure. Find Lexie on Instagram and YouTube!
