Ross Jennings just wanted to say he’s done something unusual.
That’s how he first came up with the idea to visit every country in the world with his bagpipes.
Now, however, his goal has evolved into learning about the world.
“Every time I go to a new country, I learn something new about a culture.”
Ross loves that his travels allow him to work with schools across the world.
“Being able to share stories when I go to these different countries is incredible.”
His adventures so far would him the envy of most wanderlust-filled people – he recently ticked country 100 off his list – but his dream of visiting every single country in the world shows no sign of letting up.
