This should be a MANDATORY post thread for new FTers.

Hmmm, seems like a lot of people are still counting England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland as separate countries.
I could inflate my count that way too!

My list (excluding airport transits):
1 Australia
2 Belgium
3 Botswana
4 Canada
5 Cook Islands
6 Denmark
7 Egypt
8 Fiji
9 France
10 Germany
11 Greece
12 Hong Kong
13 Italy
14 Japan
15 Kenya
16 Lesotho
17 Malawi
18 Mozambique
19 Namibia
20 Netherlands
21 New Zealand
22 Seychelles
23 Singapore
24 South Africa
25 Spain
26 Swaziland
27 Sweden
28 Switzerland
29 Tanzania
30 Thailand
31 United Kingdom
32 USA
33 Vatican City
34 Zambia
35 Zimbabwe
My unofficial goal has been to keep the number of countries visited higher than the number of years I've been on the planet... still managing that but I don't have too much time to rest on my laurels.
On a side note, I've managed to go to over half the states of the USA, which I think is quite respectable considering I've only ever visited the place 4 times...
[edited to add Vatican City, since that seems to be an officially recognised country in the list posted at the start of the thread - phew, gives me a bit more wiggle room]

Unfortunately I started late so only just getting ahead of my age. Will have to come up with a new goal methinks as a new country a year is fairly easy (until getting really big numbers).
