  • Hey everyone! I recently broke the Guinness World Record for the Youngest Person to Travel to Every Country. I'm excited to share more about how I budget travel & how I work while traveling, how to travel as a solo female traveler and also show you the most amazing off-the-beaten-path destinations. This is my first real video and there's SO MUCH I want to talk about but I decided to start with how I came up with this crazy idea in the first place. Let me know what you want to hear more about in the comments!

    Thank you so much for watching it means the world to me! I’m super excited yet nervous to start releasing videos on here for the first time. It’s been a long time coming. As a note, you probably noticed I credit my family a fair amount on this video because I’ll be the first to admit that I couldn’t have done it without them. They introduced me to travel before I can even remember. I funded the last 125 countries myself through my savings, working as much as I could while I was home between trips and through some generous sponsors towards the end. I am so thrilled to share with you what I learned on all these trips around the world! Subscribe for more and I’ll see you next week.

    Why is this comment section so salty? She acknowledges that she has had A LOT of support from her parents to travel. Some of these arguments are plain dumb. How she has been able to live rent free since she was a child seems normal to me. If you have parents like that, that’s literally not all parents. I will agree she does get privilege from being from a country with an incredibly good passport. But seriously, it’s amazing how she chose to do this and actually did it. It takes a lot of determination to do and I support her just because of that.

At that age you would get 10$ an hour. A trip to 100 Country's costs easily 30k, and that's not very high estimated... That's pretty much impossible if you have to go to school at the same time.

      @Tu Compa Shinpei I don't see how English as a first language would help that much. I think Spanish or French as first language might help more. But what is more helpful than a first language, is to invest in learning as many as you can. For East Europe I would say Russian, French for Africa, Spanish for the America's, Arab for North Africa/Middle East, and English for West Europe and British ex colonies. For Asia I'm not sure, probably would go for Mandarin. In the end, knowing a language might help you, but it isn't neccessary to speak a certain language to travel anywhere.

      1) she has money because she worked hard and saved. Money doesn’t magically grow from trees so it’s not like she magically has so much money.
      2) she has time to travel which means she had to SACRIFICE time to do other things. Don’t you realize this? She also tried to graduate from college early. How many people can say they try or want to graduate college early?
      3) being born into the United States is something she has no control over. Lots of people have the same privilege or advantage as her but don’t bother trying to accomplish much. Plus, people have luck in different aspects in life. Be genuinely happy for people’s accomplishments whether or not they get help to accomplish that.

In some places, you can get by with just $30 a day. Really it depends on skill, working in-country, having passive (and multiple) sources of income, and persistence. And a huge dose of privilege.

      Everyone’s journey is different. We don’t all come into the world with money.

    Lexie, I see a lot of people who clearly aren’t happy with others’ accomplishments unless they come from dirt poor backgrounds. What you have done is nothing short of MAGNIFICENT. Well done on this very admirable feat. You are amazing in so many ways. Don’t let anyone take away this triumph and may you spend the rest of your days exploring and sharing your experiences with those who are HAPPY for and PROUD of you! Looking forward to watching each and every video you post : )

      Barbora Polová ahoj! Toto bude asi úplne náhodne, ale s mojou kamarátkou češkou (obe sme letušky) ideme do Shanghaia na pracovnú cestu a budeme v Shanghai 13.12. - nechcela by si sa stretnúť, pokecať po Česky&Slovensky? (Viem ake to bolo pre mna žiť v Indonézii bez kamarátov, ktorí rozprávali mojim rodným jazykom, tak ma napadlo...) :D
      Keď tak mi napíš na instagram -> alinia.gowee :))

    This is so cool!!! Travelling is too amazing to even put in words and I'm sure you would understand that more than anyone! I'm 17 and I've been lucky enough to travel to 15 different countries all over the world with my family (including in South-East Asia, Europe, Oceana and North America. I intend to keep travelling and exploring new places and countries for my whole life. You are such an inspiration!

    Amazing job. I can't believe the amount of footage you had, even from when you were a kid! Totally agree that the best places are the ones you least expect. Looking forward to more videos!

    You’re an inspiration! I’m graduating December 2020 and taking all of 2021 to travel and grow as a person through helping others all across the world. You’re paving the way for us young women to experience the world!

      I LOVE THIS. You're exactly the type of person I'm making this channel for. It's amazing that you're prioritizing time to travel while you're still young & capable. It's going to be so fun, where are you wanting to go?
