While Harry Mitsidis, the founder of NomadMania, is probably too humble to admit it, he’s most likely the most knowledgeable person on everything to do with visiting every country in the world – including all the people who have accomplished the remarkable feat!

Gina Morello had four countries left in her quest to visit every country when the pandemic struck in 2020. However, that only delayed her goal, as she was able to get to her final country of Mozambique in December of 2020 – becoming the first person to finish seeing every country post-pandemic!
You might think that would be the end of her major travels – as she had taken a year off work to complete the 20+ year journey – but it was only the beginning! Her marriage of 10 years took an amicable split, as Gina’s travel desires were different than her ex-husband, and her home base became Georgia (the country) and now Portugal.
In Gina’s interview, you’ll hear about her international career working for the airlines, consulting out of places like Rome and Pakistan. But you’ll also hear about the struggles maintaining a relationship and friendships when you’re constantly on the road.
Other things you’ll hear in the Gina’s interview:

Her travel tips learned from consulting for airlines and analyzing data


What she did during the pandemic while waiting for her four remaining countries to open up


Smaller travel goals, including visiting the Top 50 Bars in the world


Her favorite (and least favorite) countries


Why she’s still considering going back to her least favorite countries


Why she chose Portugal to live


Countries she felt harassed in for what she was wearing


What female travelers should look out for when traveling solo

Woni Spotts has one of the more unique travel journeys you’ll hear. She traveled to 160 countries before the age of 19 as the host of a travel documentary shot from 1979 to 1982. However, the documentary lost funding for the final year of shooting and Woni didn’t travel much for the next 30 years.
That is until 2014 when Woni decided to finish the journey she started as a teenager, completing all 195 countries in 2018.
Not seeking any sort of fame or attention, Woni decided to bring her story to light upon hearing of another black female traveler marketing herself as the first black woman to visit every country in the world in 2019.
Listen to the full interview to hear why she decided to come forward with her story, plus:

How followers of Jessica Nabongo, who claimed to be the first black woman to travel to every country, attacked her online


Why she refused to talk to Jessica Nabongo


Her experiences traveling as a black woman and whether she has experienced any racism


Why she prefers the southern regions, including Patagonia, South Africa, and Antarctica


Growing up the child of professional musicians who traveled the world


Why it took her over 30 years to start really traveling again


The countries she would consider moving to…


And, her travel goals now
