Why This Influencer Chose Tajikistan to Celebrate Visiting 100 Countries — And Why You Should Too

After more than a decade of chasing sunsets across five continents, sleeping under stars in the Sahara, and sipping tea with strangers in Himalayan villages, Agustin Travel — the well-known Argentine globetrotter — reached a major milestone: country number 100. But instead of popping champagne in Paris or posting from a skyscraper lounge in Dubai, he did something few travelers would expect. He chose Tajikistan. Why? Because, as he put it, “This is one of the most polite, warm, clean, and quietly beautiful places I’ve ever been. There’s something about Tajikistan that humbles you — and that felt like the perfect way to mark a journey of 100 flags.” Agustin, originally from Buenos Aires, has spent years inspiring thousands of followers with his minimalist travel style, off-the-beaten-path itineraries, and human-centered storytelling. He’s trekked solo through the jungles of Papua New Guinea, kayaked in Arctic waters, and danced with nomads in Mongolia. But Tajikistan — a landlocked country tucked between the rugged peaks of Central Asia — made a lasting impression on him. A Glimpse into Tajikistan 🇹🇯 Once part of the Persian Empire and later the Soviet Union, Tajikistan is a country of poets, peaks, and peaceful people. Home to some of the world’s most dramatic alpine scenery, it’s 93% mountainous — with the legendary Pamir Highway cutting across its spine, often dubbed one of the most beautiful and remote road trips on Earth. But it’s not just nature that captivated Agustin. It was the people. “You walk down the street and children wave, old men nod respectfully, and there’s a quiet pride in how people care for their towns and gardens. Even in villages, there’s a sense of order and calm.” In a world where many travelers chase the same “Instagrammable” spots, Agustin’s celebration in Tajikistan is a reminder that true travel milestones aren’t about the number — they’re about the meaning we give them. So, why Tajikistan? Because it’s a country that doesn’t beg for attention — but deserves it. And if you ask Agustin Travel, that’s exactly what made it the perfect place to celebrate one hundred countries… and the beginning of the next hundred adventures.
