“At just 24 years old, Shubham Kumar, widely known as Nomad Shubham, has completed an extraordinary journey across all 197 countries in the world, earning the distinction of becoming the youngest Indian and Asian to accomplish this remarkable feat.

The milestone includes travel to all 193 United Nations member states as well as four additional recognised territories often included in global travel benchmarks. What makes the achievement even more inspiring is that Shubham undertook the journey independently, navigating complex visa processes, financial hurdles and logistical challenges along the way.

Originally from India, Shubham began his mission in his late teens with a vision to break stereotypes around travel and prove that age and background are not barriers to global exploration. Over the years, he documented his journey across continents — from remote island nations in the Pacific to conflict-affected regions and some of the world’s least-visited countries.

Through social media and public interactions, Nomad Shubham built a growing community of followers who were inspired by his courage, adaptability and cross-cultural experiences. His travels were not merely about collecting passport stamps, but about understanding cultures, meeting diverse communities and sharing stories from places many only read about.

Travel experts note that completing all 197 countries requires immense planning, resilience and financial discipline. For a 24-year-old to accomplish this places him among a very small group of global record-level travellers.”
