Exploring the Globe with the Most Traveled Man Alive
Imagine having a passport stamped in every single country on earth. Sounds like a fantasy, right? Well, meet Lee Abbamonte, the youngest American to achieve this incredible feat by the age of 32. He’s not just a seasoned traveler; he’s a globetrotter extraordinaire.
A World of Experience
Lee’s adventures took him to 193 United Nations member states, and he’s revisited 151 of those countries twice. That’s not all – he’s also explored every national park, conquered the highest peaks, and visited every state in the US at least three times. When we asked him about the worst country he’s visited, he didn’t hesitate.
The Dark Horse: Chad
Lee, along with fellow traveler Sam Goodwin, dubbed Chad as the worst country they’ve visited. And it’s not hard to see why. Located in the heart of Africa, Chad is plagued by corruption, dust, and dirt. According to the United Nations, Chad struggles with:
- Human Development Index (HDI)
- Poverty Rate
- Access to Clean Water and Sanitation
- Healthcare Quality
- Literacy and Education Access
- Political Stability
- Press Freedom
- Child Mortality Rate
- Economic Diversification
- Infrastructure Development
- Gender Equality
Beyond Chad: A World of Stories
