Nazmun Nahar has created a record by becoming the first Bangladeshi to travel 135 countries. She went to Costa -Rica, as the 135th country, with the red and green flag of Bangladesh at hand on Sunday.
During this journey, she visited the Latin American-carribbean and pacific sea coastal countries – Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa-Rica.
Nazmun Nahar crossed the border of El Salvador from Guatemala in the dark of night. After staying there for some days in the city of El Tunko, she went to the other countries. After crossing the borders of Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa-Rica from El Salvador by road on her own, she is now staying at the city of Tamarind in Costa Rica.
Among the Latin American countries, Nazmun Nahar shared her experience of the five countries visited this time- the borders of these Latin American countries were some of the hardest in the world. Even though the roadways were good, the visit to these countries were not easy because of the various types of looting, theft, murder, kidnapping and drug trafficking. She escaped from the jaws of death in Guatemala.
