It started as a wild idea. A joke. A drunken bucket-list conversation over drinks at a rooftop bar in Berlin, under the warm glow of fairy lights and cheap rosé.
“Imagine sleeping with someone from every country in the world,” her friend giggled, tossing back the last of her drink. “You’d be a global citizen in a whole new way.”
Most people would have laughed and forgotten it by morning.
But not Ava.
Ava DuMont was a 27-year-old travel blogger, part-time photographer, and full-time adventurer. She’d been to 56 countries before her 28th birthday, armed with nothing but a beat-up Canon, a MacBook full of half-written articles, and a thirst for stories no one else dared to tell.
But this? This was the story.
She didn’t do it for fame. Not at first. There was no sponsorship, no Instagram partnership, no “sex across borders” campaign deal. It started as a social experiment. A private curiosity. A way to explore intimacy through culture, connection, and curiosity.
She gave herself five years. Five years to travel the world and sleep with one person from every single recognized country on the globe—195 in total.
It sounded outrageous. Immoral to some. Empowering to others.
But to Ava, it was an adventure. A story worth telling.
Year One: Passion Without Borders
The first year was a whirlwind of passports, first kisses, and strange hotel beds.
In Italy, she fell into a night of slow, wine-drenched lovemaking with a Venetian poet who quoted Neruda between kisses.
In Brazil, she danced all night in Rio with a samba instructor who worshipped her body like a temple and whispered Portuguese praise into her ear until sunrise.
In Morocco, it was a stolen kiss behind a market stall. Forbidden. Dangerous. Unforgettable.
Every lover was different. Some were awkward. Some were divine. Some left her crying on hotel bathroom floors, wondering why she ever started this journey. Others made her believe in love, even if only for a night.
But she documented it all.
She never named names. Never revealed identities. But she kept detailed notes: country, city, vibe, personality, the chemistry, the connection—or lack thereof.
And one chilling entry stood out more than the rest.
Year Three: When the Line Between Pleasure and Pain Blurred
By the time Ava reached her third year, she had completed 119 countries.
Her blog, “Pillow Passport,” had gone viral. She had fans. Haters. Think pieces written about her. Religious groups condemned her. Feminist icons praised her. Men slid into her DMs offering to “represent their nation.”
She started getting recognized in airports, bars, and lounges. She was called “the woman with the most stamps and the most stories.”
But the deeper she went, the more complex it became.
Some nights were transactional. A means to check another country off the list.
Other nights… changed her.
Like in Kenya, where she met David—a conservationist who made her laugh so hard her stomach hurt, then cried with her under the stars as they talked about climate grief.
Or in Iceland, where the silence between moans was more meaningful than words.
But then came the night that changed everything.
The Worst Nationality in Bed – And Why It Wasn’t What People Expected
It happened in a wealthy, Western country. One known for politeness, progressivism, and polite conversation. A place Ava had high hopes for.
She met him at a local meetup group—tall, clean-cut, charming. He seemed safe. Respectful. Funny in that dry, ironic way that Ava had always found sexy.
They went back to his place. There was wine. Music. Consent.
But the moment the clothes came off, the vibe changed.
He didn’t ask what she liked. Didn’t even kiss her properly. It was robotic. Cold. All about him.
There was no foreplay. No eye contact. Just five minutes of mindless thrusting followed by a huff of self-satisfaction and a question that made her stomach turn:
“Wasn’t that the best you’ve ever had?”
Ava lay there, stunned. Not by the lackluster performance—but by the ego. The entitlement. The total lack of awareness.
“It was like he thought having sex was something he did to me,” she wrote in her blog. “Not something we shared. Not something he gave. Just something he took.”
She never said his name. Never shamed the country. But her readers began speculating. Comments flooded in. Accusations. Defenses. Arguments.
The debate raged: What makes someone “the worst” in bed? Is it technique? Enthusiasm? Emotional intelligence? Or just… ego?
The Unexpected Lessons From a World of Lovers
Now four years into her journey, Ava has slept with 178 men and women from across the globe. Every continent. Every religion. Every background.
And the biggest lesson?
“It’s not about nationality,” she wrote. “It’s about humanity.”
The best lovers weren’t always the best looking. Or the most exotic. Or the most physically skilled.
They were the ones who listened. Who cared. Who made her laugh, then made her feel like the most important person in the room—even if only for a night.
A humble fisherman in the Philippines. A shy librarian in Slovenia. A transgender activist in Argentina. A deaf sculptor in Tunisia.
“Connection isn’t about language,” she said. “It’s about presence.”
But yes, there were rankings. There were unforgettable highs… and absolute trainwrecks.
Top 3 Lovers (According to Ava)
1. Colombia: “Passion, rhythm, charm. It was like salsa dancing with your soul.”
2. Turkey: “Unexpectedly tender. Deep. Soulful. They made me feel like a goddess.”
3. Ghana: “Laughed the whole time. Kindest man I’ve ever met. He made love like it was a blessing.”
And the Bottom 3…
3. Switzerland: “Too mechanical. No spark. Efficient… but soulless.”
2. United States: “So much confidence, but not a lot of curiosity. More about performance than connection.”
1. [Redacted]: “I won’t name the country. But he was the most selfish person I’ve ever met. It wasn’t even sex. It was narcissism disguised as desire.”
So… Why Did She Do It?
Ava never set out to become famous.
But she did want to understand something about people, about love, about how culture shapes the way we touch, trust, and connect.
And she’s not done yet.
“I’ve had nights that shattered me. Nights that healed me. And nights I’ll be chasing for the rest of my life,” she says.
But when people ask if she regrets it?
She smiles.
“No. Because I’ve lived more lives through the people I’ve met than I ever could staying in one place, loving just one person.”
Coming Soon: The Book That Will Break the Internet
Ava is now writing a memoir titled “The Geography of Desire,” expected to be released next year. It will include unfiltered stories, lessons learned, and the real truth behind which countries rocked her world—and which ones let her down.
But she’s clear about one thing.
“This isn’t a list of conquests. It’s a map of my heart.”
And maybe that’s the most intimate thing of all.
