This is part 2 of my conversation with Akshay Nanavati from Existing2Living. Listen to Part 1 in which we talk about his battles with addiction, war, and PTSD.
Today’s guest is on a lifelong quest to traverse every country in the world, on foot, while raising a million dollars for his own non-profit foundation, Fearvana, which will partner with other for-purpose organizations to assist the global family with healing, both financially and spiritually.
Before that, Akshay Nanavati was born in India, spent time as a firefighter, he’s a veteran of the US Marines spending time in Iraq. He’s a journalist and photographer, and a mountaineer — clearly he’s an explorer curious about many things. On his website, he wrote something that I can’t possibly do better than, so I’m just going to put it here:
“I began the latest chapter of my life within the purity of nature. It will continue in the realm of humanity’s relationship to each other and the land beneath our feet. By exploring different cultures, engaging planet earth, and venturing into the depth’s of our capacity for evil, and good, I push forward in my endless quest to understand the human experience. “

A Quick Preview:
