Well thats an interesting subject.

During my RTW trip I am quite sure I met most nationals from Germany, they seem to be a nation of travellers. But Germany are definetively «westerners» so that doesnt count. The second most nationals I met was people from the Czeck republic, and even though they are kinda westerners they are from a country that belonged to the «other side» of Europe with all that still goes with that, economically and geopolitically.

So to the subject - there are a couple of very clear objective reasons we dont see many international travellers from Bolivia, Nepal, Congo etc.
First its the economical reason. We westerners can work hard a few years and save up money to buy a motorbike and travel a year or 3. Because western money lasts a long time in south and central America and even longer in souteast Asia for example. A person, even a relatively priveliged person from Congo, Nepal or Bolivia will never have the money to buy a motorbike and travel to Europe or north America. They can maybe travel to a neighbor country or 3 but never to «the west». It is simply out of theyre economical reach.

Secondly - the geopolitical system. How much buraucrasy would it take for a congolese or nepalese to travel through Europe and or north America?

I got to know a traveller from Thailand while I was doing my RTW trip. He was some months behind me on the loop and I gave him some info about this and that and I startee following his blog. And by all means - this thai guy was a well educated and smart guy with good economy even with western standards. But still he now and then he had to visit embassies just to apply for visas in countries all westerners would get a visa on arrival. Apply and pay, get documents and wait, and wait and wait - before he finally could get his visas. And this was countries like Uruguay and Brasil - not any superspecial bananarepublics.

Getting visas for priveliged countries for a person from a non-priveliged country is very very very difficult. Thats just how it has become nowadays - unfortunately. Thus travelling possibilities for such persons is very limited. A group tour for a week - arranged by a travel agency maybe. But a trip alone through multiple countries for a year or 3 - extremely difficult!
