Eight years later, he became the youngest man who visited all the countries in the world.
“At the end of 2017, I made my first solo journey with a friend to Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and other Balkan countries. The first trips were mainly in the Balkans of Europe and I went to countries such as Romania, Bulgaria and Poland – some of the easier countries. In Romania I even returned in 2021, I was very much in Bucharest.said the young man for the British daily The Sun.
Some of Luca’s travel lasted only a few days, which allowed him to travel with a backpack and a small bag for food and drink.
He stayed in other places for a few months, but said that these travelers were much more difficult, because he needed more luggage. Luca financed its travel mainly through partnerships with brands, spending about 85,000 pounds to visit the 195 countries around the world.
“You have to give each country a chance”
The content creator of Mönchengladbach, Germany, shared his favorite destinations from his adventures.
“I like to evaluate the countries according to categories such as safety and accessibility, but I would say that Mexico, Brazil and Colombia are my favorites.”says Luca.
As for the cities, Tel Aviv in Israel was very much liked.
The young man from Germany stressed that the best food he tried was in Ethiopia, while his most underestimated destinations were Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Myanmar.
Luca has a special message for travel enthusiasts: “You have to give each country a chance. You have to be open to mind. One of the most important conclusions I have drawn from these trips is that people are more kind than you think. We went on the streets of Haiti, I was in the hard neighborhoods in Venezuela and I visited some of the most dangerous countries in the world, World Guinness from my juggling.
