After 195 countries in two years, one traveler has
become the first black woman to visit every country in the world. Jessica
Nabongo ended her journey in the Seychelles, off the coast of
East Africa—just as she said
she would be on "Good Morning, America" back
in March. Friends and family joined her in the Seychelles to celebrate the
incredible achievement.
Nabongo was born
and raised in Detroit by Ugandan-immigrant parents. She has been traveling
internationally since she was four. In addition to her U. S. passport, Nabongo carries a
Ugandan passport, which helped her
gain access to different nations around the world.
The idea to visit
every country on earth came to her in February 2017. At that point, she had visited
about 60 countries. But Nahango didn't tell anyone her plan, at least not at
first. Nabango did some research and discovered that she could become the first
black woman to visit every country. "I didn't want anyone to beat me to it," she said.
Nabongo had been
writing a travel blog since 2009, before social
media was so , as a way to keep
family and friends updated. Today, she documents much
of her travel on Instagram, where she has
almost 200, 000 followers who
have watched her journey around the world.
What makes it to
her Instagram is just a part of her life. There's a lot that goes on behind the
scenes. Seasoned traveler as she was, she got ripped off (被敲诈) during her
journey when exchanging her money for the local currency. More often than not, though, people tried to be
helpful, especially when
Nahongo would tell them what she was trying to accomplish.
Through her
travels, Nabongo broke down
barriers about many countries, particularly those
that people are afraid to visit, and highlighted (突出) the countries
that are often unseen and overlooked.
