Who Is Lexi Alford? How She Became The Youngest Person To Travel Every Country On Earth?

When Lexi Alford, 21-YO Woman, landed in North Korea on May 31, 2019, she broke a coveted title of being the youngest person to visit each country in the world!

As her parents run a travel agency, for Lexie traveling has always been a big part of her life. She has now visited all 196 sovereign nations in the world. Lexie never had this planned early on in her life. Talking about her travels as a child, she says:

“Travel has been a part of my life since before I can remember. My parents would take me out of school and place me on independent study for weeks and months at a time every year.”

Though Lexie wasn’t running after achieving the title, she further added,

“Honestly, in the beginning, I simply wanted to push the limits of what I thought I could do with my life and see as much of the world as possible in the process. It wasn’t until things started getting really challenging that I realized I was inspiring people around me, especially young women. Feeling that support meant that I couldn’t give up when things got tough. I was determined to show everyone that the world isn’t as scary as the media portrays it to be and that there’s kindness everywhere.”
