Ravi Prabhu visits every country, 195/195 countries in the world

Hyderabad, August 1, 2024…..Ravi Prabhu a Telugu man just accomplished the task of visiting every country in the World. He is certified as one of the less than 300 people who has achieved this gargantuan feat.

Ravi has spent 9 days in Venezuela marking it his last country, and his travel accomplishments have been verified by the most astute travellers of Nomad Mania. Nomad Mania has ranked Ravi to be the #1 traveller hailing from India. He also happened to be the most travelled Telugu guy in the World.

RAVI PRABHU THE MOST TRAVELLED TELUGU MAN WHO TRAVELLED 195 OUT 195 COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD

Mr. Ravi Prabhu also documents his travels through social media and has a popular YouTube channel named, ‘RAVI TELUGU TRAVELLER”,

He is the first Telugu man to have travelled to every country. He just achieved this rare feat. He is the most travelled Indian man, the first Telugu man, and probably one of few Indians to have this rare distinction.

Interacting with the media today at FTCCI Red Hills, he said so far 600 plus people from all over the world have gone into space, 6600 people scaled Mount Everest and only 280 out of 850 crore people of the world visited every country. Ravi Prabhu is one of those 280 people in the world who has achieved this rare distinction

Ravi reached this distinction after 27 years of hard work. He had invested well over Rs 25 crore on these journeys.

With over 7.86 lakh subscribers, and a huge fan following, Ravi hails from Vishakhapatnam, and studied in Hyderabad (Hyderabad Central University, studied Master in Political Science during the year years 1994-1996) is on a visit to Hyderabad (on the way to Bhutan, his first country from where he started his journey and would like to end there) and would like to interact with some select media.

He is a proud Telugu man and an Indian. He has achieved this the hard way. This is one feat many dreams to achieve. Not many Indians are in the race. He is now known as the most travelled Telugu man in the world.

This Telugu Man has visited every country in the World while continuing his job. His channel features his travel experiences, and insights into his journeys, including the cultures, cuisines, and people he encountered along the way. Ravi’s videos are a visual treat for travel enthusiasts, as he captures the beauty of each destination with his camera. Ravi’s passion for travel is evident in his videos, and he hopes to inspire others to pursue their dreams of travelling and exploring the world. Through his channel, Ravi aims to provide a glimpse into the diverse cultures and lifestyles of people from different countries and promote unity in diversity.

He has been travelling for the past 20 years and now resides in the USA

He travelled a little over 30 lakh air miles (the distance equal to travelling eight times to the Moon) in over 1000 airlines. He invested a lot of his hard-earned money on those trips.

Now that he accomplished his lifetime dream, he would like to focus on knowledge sharing. He wants to visit educational institutions and share his vast knowledge. He will also focus on writing the book.

To quote Ravi:’I am even willing to be the face of any Tourism Department of a state or destination. I would like to help organizations in promoting tourism. When I travel abroad, I see a lot of Rajasthan, Kerala and Orissa Tourism promotions. But I hardly come across the tourism promotion of any of the Telugu states’, Ravi says.

Ravi who is now 40-plus years started his travels when he was a 9 years old boy. The first country he visited was Bhutan and the next one was the USA, where he resides now along with his working wife Swathi and teenage daughter Anoushka. The first country he travelled to after moving to the USA was the Netherlands.

Ravi Prabhu moved to the USA in 1996 and has been living there since then. He used to work before. For most of his travel journey, he continued while working. He left the job and is now an independent consultant.

This Telugu Man has visited every country in the World without sidelining his career, lifestyle profession or Family and this makes this achievement even more incredible.
