How TEFL started a journey to every peak, every nation and both poles
About this episode
Johnny Ward is a one-of-a-kind. Growing up poor in Ireland, Johnny made it his mission to make a career out of doing things that he loved. To say he succeeded is an understatement; Johnny’s been to every nation on earth, climbed the highest peaks, rowed across the Atlantic, visited both Poles, dodged bullets in warzones, lived it up in Turkmenistan and so, so much more - and it all began with TEFL.
Trust us: this episode has everything, from a trip to Afghanistan to climbing Everest, as well as some teaching thrown in for good measure.
