The Hitchhikers Guide to Aotearoa Ep 6 - Like Father Like Son with Johnny Clifton and Jonas Clifton

Free FM

In today’s special episode, Charlie is joined by not one, but two guests: Johnny Clifton, an Australian father, and his 11-year-old son, Jonas. Johnny has spent his life exploring the world, having visited an incredible 180 countries through budget travel and backpacking, rather than spending his money on material possessions, Johnny has made travelling the central focus of his life. Along the way, he has encountered more than his fair share of extraordinary experiences, from harrowing encounters with gorillas to being held at gunpoint on multiple occasions! And the adventures don't stop with Johnny. At just eleven years old, Jonas has already visited more than 90 countries himself, making him quite the seasoned traveller! Join Charlie as he sits down with this adventurous father-son duo to hear some of their most remarkable travel stories as well as their advice for anyone hoping to embark on their own adventures. A travelling interview podcast hosted by Charlie Ryan — an American on a year-long adventure across New Zealand.
