This may not be the most conventional journey, yet, for the adventurous traveller, it offers a fascinating mix of cultures, landscapes, and history.

In her captivating narrative, Mia Kercher, recounts her transformative road trip journey from Serbia through Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Uzbekistan to Afghanistan.

Along the way, she challenges media-driven perceptions of countries often deemed dangerous, discovering the warmth and hospitality of the locals.

Her story offers a unique perspective on solo female travel, cultural exploration, and the courage to pursue one's dreams. Read in full here.

Connecting Travellers Around the World

Using our 'Location Sharing' feature in the NomadMania app we identified that Mia was recently seen in Vietnam. 

Thanks to this feature, she met a few of our NomadMania members and together they set a meeting initiated by our Messenger - Kostiantyn Liorek.

New UN Masters in January

This January, we are thrilled to welcome five new UN Masters who have accomplished the remarkable feat of visiting every country in the world.

Meet:

• Kach Umandap (Philippines)
• Tin Sien Chua  (Singapore)
• Reinhold Ringhofer (Austria)
• Dominique Laurent (France)
• Giles Galahad (United States) .

Special recognition is due to Kach Umandap :-) 

Using only her Philippine passport, Kach has set a record as the first and youngest Filipino to achieve this remarkable feat without the advantage of dual citizenship or permanent residency.

Being only 36 years old, this accomplishment also establishes Kach, according to NomadMania's statistics, as the youngest woman from a developing country with a low passport index (LPI) to visit every country in the world, the last one being Sudan.
