8,000 Miles Across India in a Vintage Rolls Royce With Rupert Grey (Romantic Road)

Description:

In 2012, media lawyer and world adventurer Rupert Grey and his wife spent six months driving across India in their beat-up 1930s Rolls Royce. Their epic journey was turned into a documentary film called “Romantic Road” and was produced by Sharon Stone!

In this episode, Rupert and I discuss their bold choice to travel through India in this type of vehicle and how it could be received in that culture. You’ll hear about the blunt wisdom he received from a trucker that he still carries with him today, the value of accepting risk and pursuing your passions no matter what anybody says to you, how this adventure became a highly-rated documentary, and so much more.

Did Rupert’s story inspire you to take your own unusual journey through a foreign land? I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you’ll share them by sending me an audio message.
