A British woman has completed a life-long mission to visit every country in the world – all 196 of them.<\/p>\n

Sue Rogers, 69, first got the travelling bug when she went on a school trip to Dieppe aged 11. She has now visited every country – ticking off the last one when she went to Afghanistan in October this year.<\/p>\n

Sue believes she is the first British-born woman to achieve the incredible feat. More people have walked on the moon than achieved what Sue has and she has done it despite suffering from a chronic fatigue condition for 23 years.<\/p>\n

However the adventurous traveller has never let it stand in her way. Sue’s journeys across the world have been made up of holidays, short breaks, occasional work and longer journeys.<\/p>\n

Sue has documented each trip on her blog with stunning images from her camera and personal stories from the good, bad and the wild.<\/p>\n

Sue, who lives in Brighton, has ventured to Pacific islands, war torn nations, been hospitalised in South Asia, walked with penguins and met members of the Taliban.<\/p>\n

She has travelled to all 196 countries – 193 United Nations, plus Taiwan, Kosovo and The Vatican.<\/p>\n

Sue said: \u201cMy friends all think I\u2019m mad or brave! The brave worries me, as I start to wonder if I am being stupid. But for me, life is all about experience and understanding the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d rather have the memories than materialistic things. It is an amazing world, such an incredible world, so go out and see it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Her favourite places include the Pacific Islands, Patagonia, Bolivia and the Caribbean – but says her favourite country is \u201cquite often the last country\u201d she has ventured to.<\/p>\n
