31 nations

I don't think I chimed in yet, but on September 1st I finished all 193 on the UN list + 3 more I consider countries based on the fact more than 50% of the UN considers them countries - Palestine, Kosovo, and Vatican City.

All done! Now on to quasi-independent places with South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Ngorno-Karabakh coming soon!

Very impressive. ^^^

I'm at 60 countries/regions, according to the "Traveler's Century Club" list which I find reasonable, as it has many separate/interesting regions as separate entities you can check off.

Many of these I have done as quick work trips, but have always managed to sneak a peek at something local in the evenings, or visit an interesting museum, meet some amazing friend-of-a-friends, eat some fantastic local food, or something like that.

The variety of the world keeps amazing me, and I consider myself lucky.

And the fact that normal people everywhere are mostly nice and friendly, whatever the geopolitical situation of the world happens to be at the time.

I think if more people traveled to more places and saw that the "other people" are mostly just like themselves, we would have a better chance of achieving world peace some day. Someone should start a charity that flies young people across the troubled borders of the world to meet each other, that is something I definitely would support.

I have a few more specific places on my bucket list and hope to stumble on many others serendipitously.

I also have many favorite international destinations I return to again and again, they feel almost like home, too.

What a wonderful world we have. The ability to fly "anywhere" for—let's admit it—"cheap" is a really wonderous thing.

24 Countries. Before giving blood, it takes them over an hour to screen my recently-travelled-to countries for diseases.

66 countries so far. Hoping to hit 100 by 40.
* I count countries visited as spending at least a full day in the city and not just transiting in the airport

ironmanjt

Yes, all four.

South Sudan just a couple months post-independence
Kosovo may be a country depending who you ask. About 60% of the UN agrees it is
Serbia and Montenegro are two separate countries.

Wow, from a post 2 years ago. And no end in sight too.
