Episode 49: Guinness World Record Holder Renee Bruns - Most Countries Visited In One Year Using A Wheelchair

At a young age, Renee was diagnosed with a skeletal disorder that forced her family to travel around the United States to get the proper medical help. At age 5, she made her way to the Big Apple and fell in love with traveling so much that her family took it upon themselves to check off all of the 50 states in the US, which they did. This only fueled her fire to see more of the world. Later in life, she experienced corporate burnout while leading a large team in a Fortune 500 insurance company and decided for the first time, to go on a one year sabbatical and travel the world. In doing so she broke the Guinness World Record for most countries visited in one year  using a wheelchair.. Renee sheds light on inaccessible infrastructure, being an inspiration and resource for others, and her restored faith in humanity.
