Woman who’s the youngest person to travel to every country reveals the scariest place she's been to

A woman who became the youngest person to visit every country in the world has revealed the scariest place she's been to.

At just 21 years and 177 days old, Lexie Alford - or Lexie Limitless, as she is better known online - became a Guinness World Record holder for the youngest person to travel to all sovereign countries.

Lexie told UNILAD how she got the travel bug from a very young age and had visited 70 countries at the age of 18.

But with 195 countries on Earth, there are, of course, some places that are scarier than others.

While a lot of people travel for a relaxing vacation, Lexie has found herself in some of the most dangerous countries on the planet.

But what's the scariest place the YouTuber has visited?

Speaking to UNILAD, Lexie revealed: "It's really subjective, because it also all depends on timing. But for me, traveling in Yemen was definitely a very eye-opening experience. They've been going through civil war for many years now. There was nowhere else that I had seen that had been so impacted by the war."

The Houthi movement, formally known as Ansar Allah, has been leading a rebellion against the military in Yemen, which led to an outright civil war starting in 2014.

Since 2015, 4.5 million people in Yemen have been displaced because of the war, with 76 percent of the population being forced to leave their homes being women and children, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

While visiting Yemen has left a long-lasting impact on Lexie, there are other countries she struggled to get into.

North Korea is an obvious one that comes to mind, with the nation not typically welcoming tourists.

Having visited every country before she was 22, North Korea is one Lexie will always remember.

"So North Korea was the number one most complicated country for me to travel to. I actually have a full YouTube video about this on my channel. But this particular time, and still to this day, being an American, going to North Korea is illegal," Lexie told UNILAD.

She continued: "I was able to go via the DMZ from South Korea, but it took three trips just to make that attempt."

Lexi stars in Charge Around The Globe on Prime Video, where she is aiming to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle.
