We all love to travel the world but the only reason we back out is because we have no time and work becomes our priority. But, that does not work with, Prasanna Veeraswamy and Sangeetha Ranganath, who have found the time and resources to holiday around the world despite having full-time jobs.

Without quitting jobs, this couple travelled to 160 countries: Read How?

According to Conde Nast Traveller, Prasanna has travelled to every country in the world. As per United Nation definition he has visited approximately 193 countries, while, his wife Sangeetha has travelled to 168. Now that is, what is, called super LUCKY!

They both began their journey in the year 1998, when they took their first international flight to the US. Since then, the couple has travelled and lived in India, China, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan. They are currently based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where they are working full-time tech jobs. Luckily, the two have worked for new-age technology companies, which allows them to work from home and to keep flexible working hours.

On explaining more about his travel and experience, Prasanna said that travelling on an Indian passport wasn't so bad as the duo got their American passports only in 2010. “When we started travelling there were only a handful of countries that welcomed Indians without a visa or granted visa on arrival. Now there are more than 60 countries that have this facility. While the US passport does give you the flexibility of travel to so many countries, many of the countries we visited over the past few years still require visas for US passport holders. So, visa runs have been a constant for all these years, irrespective of our passport," he said.

Not just that, Prasanna further added that, he is a hardcore meat-eater, while Sangeetha is a staunch vegetarian and the only common thing that they share is love for beer. He finally adds to say that, 'Not having a home or kids was a choice, not sacrifice'.
