I’ve always believed that when you bring together a group of truly amazing people, something brilliant is bound to happen. Whether it’s ideas, inspiration, or lifelong connections, magic happens when like-minded individuals come together.
My wife and I started travelling together in 2003 and we have visited more than 100 different countries since then. When travelling, we love exploring unknown places, mixing with people and contemplating different lifestyles. Every time, we take something back with us that is incorporated into our daily lives and jobs becoming better people and better professionals. We came across many other travellers over the years, amazing people with incredible experiences, and it's been a while since I realised that these people develop valuable skills along the way. General knowledge about Geography, Languages, Religion, Politics, History, Culture, Ethnics but also personal and interpersonal skills such as Research and Planning, Time Management, Problem solving, Ability to Learn and Adapt, Context Awareness, Optimism, Resources Optimisation, Innovation, Positive Attitude, Humbleness, Teamwork, Leadership, Communication, Networking, Diversity, Empathy, Emotional Intelligence, Body Language and Storytelling. All very valuable in the business context. I wonder if there is a business to build over these foundations.
So, here’s the experiment: I want to gather a group of “awesome” people—those who have visited 100+ countries—and see what happens. Why? Because such a milestone speaks volumes about curiosity, resilience, and a true passion for exploring the world. Who better to brainstorm with, share perspectives, and collaborate with than those who have experienced so much of what our planet has to offer?
The goal? To create a business together.
It could be an idea born from our shared knowledge of the world, something inspired by our travels, or a concept none of us would’ve thought of alone. The possibilities are endless when you combine global perspectives and entrepreneurial spirit.
If this sounds like you, let’s connect! Drop a comment or send a message, and let’s see what kind of brilliance we can create together. Whether it’s a travel service, a digital product or simply exchanging ideas, I’m convinced we can turn this into something extraordinary.
Are you ready to test this idea?
Have you checked www.extraordinarytravelfest.com and nomadmania.com? Might be a good place to connect well-travelled people.
Hi Lezka,
First of all, welcome! And great to have a fellow software engineer around here :)
Maria mentioned a few communities and I'd agree they might also be places to explore your idea, if having gone to 100+ countries is your criteria.
Another group to think of is the digital nomad community. Actually this group seems to be a bit more entrepreneurial than the 193 crew because they are aiming to earn a living while travelling, too. The pure country counters are a bit more of a diverse group of people driven and funded by various means.
Maybe you should combine both!
There's also a lot of great entrepreneurs out there who might have only been to a handful of countries. And it has a lot to do with your passport power... so maybe you could have a few different criterias to establish "worldliness".
With a lot of people from around the world involved, I imagine you'd need a simple business model that addresses a global need. I'd be interested to hear the business pitch if you get to one!
