Many of us love exploring off-the-radar countries few people have even heard of, but how many actually invest and build businesses there?

That’s exactly what today’s guest, Rafael Millan—better known as Rafa—has been doing for nearly two decades. From Europe to Africa and eventually South America, Rafa’s journey is packed with both invaluable lessons and crazy stories.

In this episode, Rafa shares how his expat journey led him to invest and do business in “wild frontier” nations like Mali and The Gambia.

We discuss the obstacles to doing business in Europe today, the vital role of finding the right business partners, and why Rafa considers Paraguay his ultimate investment haven. Enjoy!
