Francis is an excellent writer, and for me, a constant inspiration. His book "Hidden Europe" is the best travel book I have ever read. His book "Hike your own hike" influenced me strongly and supported my mindset to start my own business and leave a well-paid position in the corporate world. Thanks to this, I am happy as an independent career coach today.

I admire Francis Tapon not only because he is a fantastic (and funny!) author, but because he is one of those rare individuals that truly embodies the saying "taking the road less traveled." He is his own brand: traveler, author, serial-backpacker, couchsurfer, producer, consultant, public speaker...the list goes on. His mission is to visit every country in the world and he is steadily making his way across the globe. His next mission is Africa. He is an inspirational human being because it takes raw courage, hard work, and bizarre persistence to not just follow your dreams but to make it your life's work. I look forward to his next book and recommend everyone to pick up a copy of his "Hidden Europe."
