Meet the founders
Born from 195 Journeys
195sim was born from a journey through every country in the world — and from the people, places and communities that made those journeys possible.
After visiting all 195 countries, Luca saw firsthand how much travelers receive from the places they visit. Together with Luna, he wanted to build something that could give something back.
What started as a simple way to stay connected while traveling has grown into a bigger vision: a travel company that connects people not only to the internet, but to the places and communities they visit.
195sim is built on a simple belief: travel should create connections that go both ways.
Founder
Luca Pferdmenges
The youngest man to visit every country in the world and a creator followed by millions, Luca has spent years experiencing the world through the people and places that make it extraordinary.
Born in Mönchengladbach, Germany, his journey took him from performing as a professional juggler and earning multiple Guinness World Records to being recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list — and eventually to all 195 countries.
Along the way, travel became about much more than crossing borders. It became about the people who welcome you and the communities that turn a place on a map into somewhere you'll never forget.
Those experiences became part of the idea behind 195sim: to keep travelers connected to the world, while finding new ways for travel to give back to the places that make it possible.
After 195 countries, one thing became clear: the best part of travel isn't just where you go — it's the people you meet along the way.

Co-Founder
Luna Salerno
Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Luna is the creative mind behind 195sim and the person turning an idea into a growing global brand.
With a background in International Relations and a passion for travel, storytelling and people, she brings a different perspective to the world of travel. Traveling across different cultures has shaped the way she sees tourism — not simply as moving from one destination to another, but as an exchange between travelers and the places they enter.
Alongside Luca, she has traveled to countries across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, while building 195sim from the ground up. What started as a simple solution to one of travel's most frustrating problems — staying connected — has grown into a bigger vision for what a travel company can be.
We don't just want to help people see the world. We want to help make the world a little better for the people who welcome them.
Our Mission
At 195sim, we believe travel is about more than seeing new places — it’s about connecting with the people and communities that make them special.
We created 195sim to keep travelers connected wherever they go. Today, we're taking that idea further: building connections between travelers and the local businesses and communities that welcome them.
The world gives us so much to explore. We believe travel can give something back, too.
Explore the idea behind 195sim and how we're making it happen.
