His sky diving record was noted in the Guinness World Record as a record that cannot be broken was for the most northerly skydive at exactly 90 degrees North. In 2014 he completed a life goal of traveling to 197 countries (all 193 countries recognized by the U.N. and four that are not: Taiwan, Kosovo, North Korea, and Somaliland.) As a geopolitical consultant, he speaks and writes on how the history, geography, culture, religion, and political events are changing our world dynamically. He enjoys writing to share his experiences with his readers. His proudest accomplishment is his two sons. <br>Contact him at:  jack@wheelerexpeditions.com.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.escapeartist.com\/blog\/author\/jackwheeler\/","slug":"jackwheeler","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ce356695f22de61c8a85f8c7d07e9e89?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ce356695f22de61c8a85f8c7d07e9e89?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ce356695f22de61c8a85f8c7d07e9e89?s=96&d=mm&r=g","128":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/ce356695f22de61c8a85f8c7d07e9e89?s=128&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":{"rsssl_two_fa_status":"disabled"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/366"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapeartist.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
