On June 6, 2026, the MTP community gathered in Azeitão, Portugal, for an event that marked a milestone in the history of extreme travel.
A total of 103 UN Grandmasters, travelers who have visited every country in the world, attended the gathering, representing 35 different countries. Among them were 24 women who have completed the journey to all 193 UN member states, including MTP legend Luisa Yu, who joined the event at the age of 82 and her motto is:
Don’t wait for the perfect moment, because sometimes that opportunity may never come again. So just go.
It had never been done before. For the first time in history, more than 100 people who have visited every country in the world gathered in one place. We are therefore proud to announce that we have set a new WORLD RECORD.
The event brought together nearly 200 guests, including travelers, journalists, writers, photographers, and members of the Portuguese MTP community. Meet some of great travelers:
