The Youngest Person to Visit Every Country in Europe

At just 12 years old, and travelling solely on a Philippine passport, Wyatt Maktrav has made history by breaking the Guinness World Record as the youngest person ever to visit every country in Europe.

Most recently, Wyatt, together with his mother, Kaila Sharlene delos Reyes, crossed the border from Poland into Ukraine, where he received his NomadMania Certificate in Lviv — a fitting milestone on his journey.

Feel free to join the celebration by sharing a few words in the comments on our Facebook or Instagram posts. Your messages will mean the world to a young traveller.

NomadMania Scholarship Holders 2025

As you may know, for the past few years NomadMania has proudly run a scholarship programme — our way of contributing to a better world through international travel and cultural exchange.

Through this initiative, we fund the first-ever trip abroad for talented students from developing countries, selected through a rigorous application process.

In the past, our scholarships have supported students from Ukraine and Rwanda. Today, we are thrilled to announce the three new scholarship recipients for 2025:

Yakin Hitimana from Burundi
Emily Mvula from Malawi
Muhammad Omer from Pakistan

They are now preparing for their very first international journeys, which form part of their practical assignments. We can’t wait to hear all about the life-changing experiences that await them.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our Premium Members — your contributions help make this meaningful project possible. We’re also deeply grateful to our Scholarship Committee, led by Yui Pow Redford, for their dedication and hard work throughout the selection process.

[ANGOLA] - Cross-Country Exploration

Welcome to our multi-part expedition across Angola which offers a rare opportunity to explore one of Africa's least-visited and most diverse countries.

Spanning three modules, this tour unlocks five of Angola's six NomadMania regions, including two highly exclusive DARE locations: Bahia dos Tigres and Cabinda's Belize area. Designed specifically for NomadMania travelers, this journey offers a unique mix of remote landscapes and cultural depth.

The itinerary weaves through vastly different environments — from the barren beauty of Iona National Park and its ancient Welwitschia plants, to the historic capital of the Kongo Kingdom in Mbanza Kongo, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and finally into the thick rainforests of Cabinda.

Whether it’s desert camping or river safaris, colonial relics or remote tribal areas, this is Angola seen in full spectrum. You can choose to do any of the modules independently or experience all three for the full adventure.
