Igor Sergeev - Russia

He visited all the 193/193 independent countries of the UN and all 7 continents, 299/330 countries and territories on the Travelers' Century Club list, 1221/1500 countries and territories on the MTP list,  1150/1301 regions on the NomadMania list, 253/275 and 793/1223 UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I started traveling since 1971, and until 1979 traveled to the Soviet Union only.

The first country I visited was Czechoslovakia (in 1979).

From 1979 to 1992, I visited only 14 countries, as to leave the Soviet Union was very difficult.   

Since 1998, traveling with my wife Lazareva Nadezda (she is also a member of NomadMania) and together we visited all 193 countries of the United Nations.      

The last, the 193-rd country (South Sudan), I visited in 2016.

Igor Sergeyev and Nadezhda Lazareva are the only people in the world who have visited all 193 UN countries together.
