I visited all 195 countries on a Philippine Passport.
I'm Kach Umandap - global mobility advocate, the youngest Filipina to visit all 195 UN Countries, and the first Filipino to do it solely on a Philippine passport. I teach Filipinos and travelers across the Global South how to build careers that let them see the world.
PHILIPPINE PASSPORT
Career or Travel, Why Not Both?
How To Become a Digital Nomad
My first book with Penguin Random House SEA is almost here. It launches on September 10, 2026 at the Manila International Book Fair, SMX Convention Center.
This is the book I wish I had at 20 years old, working in Kuwait and dreaming of more. It breaks down exactly how I went from an office job in the Middle East to visiting every country in the world - and how you can build your own path to work from anywhere.
Inside, you'll learn the Borderless Ladder framework: Earn. Own Your Work. Own Your Name. Own The System. It's written for Filipinos and dreamers across the Global South who were told travel isn't for them.

When students see living proof that a Filipino can reach the world through digital skills, they believe it is possible for them too.

The tour kicks off at my alma mater, UP Los Baños, on November 23, 2026.
