Albania
Andorra
Antigua
Austria
Bahamas
Barbados
Belgium
Bosnia
Botswana
Bulgaria (10)
Canada
Cape Verde Islands
Croatia
Czech Republic
Denmark
Dominica
Estonia
Finland
France
Germany (20)
Greece
Haiti
Hungary
Ireland
Italy
Jamaica
Latvia
Liechtenstein
Lithuania
Luxembourg (30)
Macedonia
Malta
Mexico
Moldova
Monaco
Montenegro
Morocco
Netherlands
Norway
Poland (40)
Portugal
Romania
Russia
St. Kitts
St. Lucia
San Marino
Serbia
Slovakia
Slovenia
South Africa (50)
Spain
Swaziland
Sweden
Switzerland
Turkey
Ukraine
United Kingdom
United States
Vatican City
Anguilla (60)
Aruba
Bermuda
British Virgin Islands
Cayman Islands
Gibraltar
Guadeloupe
Jersey
Martinique
Netherlands Antilles
Puerto Rico (70)
US Virgin Islands (71)

also two unrecognized ''rogue'' independent states:
Bophutswana (now recorporated back into South Africa)
Transnistria (still defying Moldova thanks to the Russian ''peacekeepers'')

so - total 73

Also, on the agenda in a few weeks: Cyprus (which should count as two, considering the Turkish and Greek sides have seperate governments that barely speak to each other, and the worlds only remaining divided capital seperated by miltary emplacements; it makes absolutely no sense to say Korea is two countries but Cyprus is one,)

Next year - Kosovo, Georgia, Guernsey, and perhaps Belarus.

If I used the TCC list, it would be over 80.

Not at all! I've only been to seven other countries. I spend almost all of my vacation days visiting family in the Bahamas or other parts of Canada, so there aren't that many opportunities for overseas leisure travel.

Looks pretty good to me.

Add Brazil and Greenland and you'd add 20% of red.

I've only been to 21 countries and I'm 23. But its pretty funny how low on the totem poll I am here. Where, in real life, I literally don't know my age who's even been close to the amount of places I've been.

I guess it's because I live in a very rural area compared to most, but it's interesting to think about. Hopefully I'll catch up sometime soon.

I actually think that is pretty impressive at 23. My count stands at 38 countries at the age of 32 but if I would subtract all the countries I have been to for work in the last 8 years that list would be a lot shorter.

Once location obviously matters. In Europe it is easier to go abroad the when in the US.
