How To Get Off The Beaten Track with Gunnar Garfors

Are you the type of traveler that avoids crowded tourist destinations at all costs?

Accomplished author and globe trotter, Gunnar Garfors, shares his experience and wisdom gained from seeking out the road less traveled and writing a book about the hidden secrets of his home country Norway.

If you’re curious to learn more about how curiosity and adaptability can help you achieve a one-of-a-kind adventure experience, you don’t want to miss this episode.
