HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO VISIT EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?
Factors like savings, travel speed, and having a full-time job affect how long it takes to visit every country. I stay long enough to visit sites, meet locals, and eat before moving on. However, if a country presents significant dangers then a few days might just be enough.I’ve traveled long-term, like 3 months in the Philippines or 6 months in Australia, so 10-20 years is typical. With enough money and quick visits, you could try to beat the record of just over 3 years!

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO VISIT EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
This is tough; it can mostly be done on a shoestring budget, but there are conditions. That you travel slow, by land, stay in cheap accommodation and eat local food. Which to be honest all makes for a better experience.
There are at times expenses which you will not be able to avoid; such as pricey visas, the odd bribe, flights and countries which require you to travel as part of a tour.
So if you take your time it can be affordable, however if you wish to do it over the course of 4 or 5 years then expect to pay considerably more.

HOW TO VISIT EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD TRAVELLING SOLO
It’s clear a lot of people would love to travel the world but are scared of going at it solo, a lot of my friends are even the same. But I can promise you there is nothing more liberating than setting off on your own. Meeting friends are a lot easier than you could imagine and before you know it you will have likeminded friends for life living all over the world.

STAY SAFE WHILE VISITING EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
“Are you crazy, what if something happens, I’m worried about you!” They are all common phrases I hear from friends and family who are just looking out for me. But what most people don’t know is that a lot of the places I visit are safer than what we experience at home. The world is generally a safe place and people love to help. If on the rare occasion you do find yourself in trouble then you just need to find the courage to reach out and ask someone. There is no better person to ask for help than a local and I have yet to meet one who isn’t willing.
NOT KEEN ON THE THOUGHT OF VISITING EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD?:
