Daniel Seddiqui has been on many roads, every road for that matter, and he’s launching his new immersive travel book series with Schiffer Publishing, covering hyperlocal themes and brands of every region of America. In conjunction with Daniel completing the U.S. map in the Tri-Cities, he will launch the first release of this series, “Jammin’ through the South” in Historic Downtown Bristol, the birthplace of country music!
Two events will be held in Daniels honor. On Friday, July 5 at 5:30 p.m. Daniel will give a talk about his travels in The Shelby Room at The Bristol Hotel. On Saturday, July 5 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Daniel will sing copies of his book in the atrium at the Birthplace of Country Music Museum. His book will be available for sale at The Museum Store during Saturday’s event only.
There is no cost to attend either event, but please RSVP above to either or both events if you plan to be there.
Daniel Seddiqui is a multi-time international bestselling author, inspiring keynote speaker, and educational and travel entrepreneur. His unwavering curiosity and love of people has led him to become the “Most Traveled Person in American History,” discovering the country in uncharted ways that focus on various career, cultures, and environments. He’s widely known for working 50 Jobs in 50 States, becoming an inspiration to millions that suffer economic hardship and self-identity. He’s appeared on countless international media outlets, such as CNN, Fox News,
Psychology Today, TIME, Inc., MSNBC, NPR, Today Show, World News Tonight, Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, USA Today….and many others.
His presentations speak to those yearning for growth and discovery and want to lead with purpose and impact. Daniel’s message is an example of perseverance, risk-taking, adaptability, networking, and endurance.
One might call him the real-life version of Where’s Waldo and for good reason, having traveled 50 states well over 20 times. From Bangor, Maine and Bellingham, Washington to Fort Myers, Florida and Chula Vista, California, and thousands of cities between, Daniel Seddiqui is set to visit the last pinpoint on the U.S. Map, the Tri-Cities (Bristol, Kingsport, Johnson City). He suggests “being titled the Most Traveled Person of America isn’t fully deserved unless the soles of my shoes pound every inch of pavement.”
He’s been gazing at maps for over 30 years every chance he gets. What started as a hobby of a little kid sparked by a wandering mind, turned into a life of immersive experiences with strangers, developing commonality through shared moments, learning about life in the rural pockets to the inner cities. Daniel attributes not just curiosity to exploring the map but embracing rejection. After graduating from college, he endured an unprecedented number of job interview rejections, leaving him in a desperate circumstance and no choice other than being fearless to try something new. He says, “destinations are never cut and dry, never a direct line and those roads reflect our life’s curves, yields, and undulations. Much of the road is unrecognizable and that’s what makes life a journey. We can’t predict our fate, but we must learn to embrace the road ahead.”
