FILIPINOS WHO HAVE TRAVELED TO THE MOST UN COUNTRIES (As of 2025 – 193 UN Countries, Ongoing Counts, and Honorable Mentions)
These extraordinary Filipino travelers have officially visited every country in the world — all 193 United Nations member states. A rare feat achieved by only a few hundred people globally, their journeys reflect true determination, passion, and a love for exploring cultures.
1. Lourdes Odette Ricasa – 193 Countries (2022)
The first recorded Filipina and Southeast Asian to visit all UN countries. Odette’s journey proves that travel has no age limit. She inspired many with her deep cultural connections and bold spirit across continents.
2. Luisa Yu – 193 Countries (2024)
A senior globetrotter who finished her world journey later in life. Luisa’s story shows that it’s never too late to chase big dreams. Her adventures continue to inspire older travelers to keep exploring.
3. Katrina “Kach” Umandap – 193 Countries (2025)
Famous for her blog “Two Monkeys Travel,” Kach became the first Filipino to complete the UN list using only a Philippine passport. Her inspiring solo travels show the world what Filipinos can achieve with courage and persistence.
4. Sonriza “Riza” Rasco – 193 Countries (2025)
The fourth Filipino to reach every UN country. Riza’s travels are focused on learning cultures deeply, not just collecting stamps. Her calm and purposeful journey earned her respect among global travelers.
5. AJ April Peregrino – 193 Countries (2025)
Among the youngest Filipinos to join the elite 193 Club. AJ represents a new wave of Filipino explorers who are ambitious, smart, and fearless. Her journey shows that with determination, even the toughest borders can be crossed.
