I Finally Made it to Every Country in the World!!!

October 29th, 2021 at 1 30 a.m local time. I have just entered Saudi Arabia, my 197th and final country. I can't believe that right now I can say that I've been to every single country in the world and obviously I'm feeling lots of emotion right now as you guys can hear and it's hard to express my feeling. I'm literally shaking right now but I just want to say thank you. Thank you to Deanna for believing in me since we met six years ago. Thank you to my parents for supporting me and my loving family. Thank you to all my best friends. Thank you to all the strangers I met along the way. All my local friends who kept me safe but most importantly thank you. Thank you for joining me on this adventure. Thank you for being here with me. Without you I am nothing. I'm not able to do anything and I really sincerely from the bottom of my heart appreciate you guys being here. It's such a surreal moment right now to think that I've been traveling for 10 years. 10 years ago I moved to Prague to study abroad and it's coming full circle almost exactly to the day. 10 years of non-stop travel. I have finally made it to every single country in the world and I'm just so incredibly grateful for you guys. The reason why I travel is because I'm just curious about the world and I want to be a messenger and show you guys the inspiring people and the culture that I meet around the world and it's just so incredible. I keep saying the word incredible because that's honestly how I feel. I just want to say thank you so much for being here. It really means the world to me. For the next two weeks I'm going to be exploring all over Saudi Arabia visiting the amazing wonders but tomorrow I have a media day scheduled with interviews all across the world from CNBC to Bloomberg to Yahoo Finance to the Today Show, ABC News. Everything is going to be on live TV so if you guys are around the TV turn it on because I'm posting this live and I just want to say this is a great moment. Thank you guys so much for being here and gosh I'm out of breath. I'm literally shaking right now. You can see my hands. That moment you just experienced with me was 10 years in the making since I took my very first trip overseas to study abroad in Prague. During the last 10 years I experienced countless highs. We did it! So much love. I just can't explain it. And countless lows. We are on a boat and I can't breathe. It's rough to travel in Yemen in general but having diarrhea makes it about 10 times more rough. I'm in the police station right now in Iraq. Yeah the camera in the picture. During those 10 years I've flown on 1,458 flights, ridden on 1,117 buses and trains, and created 1,241 videos all while chasing my life's mission to visit every single country in the world. But I have never traveled just for the numbers. In every nation I did my best to immerse myself in the culture, ask questions, and tell stories to help you and I better understand our fascinating world. The following are eight universal lessons I've learned from my travels that I want to share with you in this video. I hope you enjoy these eight lessons while taking a visual journey of my favorite moments through the past decade. Watch until the very end for a ever-growing hubs for humankind and they do as much good as they do harm. The world is safer than you think and 99.9% of people are good people. So much of the world is untouched natural beauty waiting to be discovered. Wildlife is one of the most precious gifts we have on our planet. Poverty does not always equal unhappiness. Food is the ultimate connector because everyone needs to eat. Despite our physical differences all humans in the world are the same. We cry, we laugh, we love. I hope these eight universal lessons deepen your understanding of our world like they did for me but more importantly I hope that you will be able to experience these eight lessons for yourself on your own adventures. And speaking of adventures I'm happy to announce that this is not the end of it's only the beginning. Let me catch you up on everything that's going on. First on this main channel in the next few weeks you can expect the final videos from my last three countries to finish production and go live. Palau, Jamaica, and Saudi Arabia. After that I will be continuing to travel but I will focus on the story not the country. I will be bringing you only the best and most unusual travel stories from around our planet so please subscribe to this channel if you haven't already. Next I have started a second channel called Faces of the World where I will be working with production teams in different countries to tell you stories about the most inspiring people on our planet. The link to that channel can be found down below. Next I will be continuing to drop new releases of my merchandise brand Just Go. I've been wearing these two words across my chest for five years because I truly believe that being spontaneous leads to life's greatest moments. The upcoming holiday drop theme is We Are All the Same which as you recall is the number one lesson I've learned from my travels. The link to the store is down below if you want to check it out. Next I will be continuing to help others save money and plan their travels with my ultimate travel hacking course an exclusive travelers club. More information can be found on the links below and you can get my first chapter for free. Next I will soon be releasing the first ever travel focused NFT collection called Travel Tokens. It has 2,000 custom detailed illustrations of my favorite places and experiences from all 197 countries. Guys I haven't been this excited about a project in a really long time and if you want to get a sneak peek head over to Travel Tokens NFT on Instagram or join our discord link that you can find below. Moving onwards I have both a book and a docuseries that will be released in the next year or two. The docuseries is a lot of behind the scenes of my life as a YouTuber, how I make local friends to support my spontaneous travels and what I've learned from this entire journey. The film has been shot in real time as I finished my final six countries with Saudi Arabia being the closing episode. The book on the other hand will highlight my best stories, travel tips, and the most amazing things I've learned from every country. And last but not least I am launching Just Go Meetups which I plan to turn into a worldwide travel networking club for like-minded people to meet in various cities. I started this because our online community of 9 million is incredible and there's no better way to capitalize than face-to-face meetings. You can join in your city to hang out, network, or make a new travel buddy. There's a link in the description down below for more details. Guys I just want to let you know that even though I've completed my goal of 197 countries I feel like I have only just begun my life's adventure and I can't wait to keep making content in faraway places. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much for being here and just know that bigger and better things are on the horizon. With that all being said I will see you guys in the next video.
