113 right now. Not terribly interested in most of the ones I haven't been to you, so I imagine I will progress at a slower pace going forwards with more return visits to places I like.

Thats exactly what happens, unless you are part of the visit for a day to tick it off the list group.

It does get increasingly harder, expensiver, and one finds themselves going back to the same places instead of see above.

I still travel as much in my 30s as I did in my 20s - but the rate of adding new countries has significantly slowed down.

Probably will only be adding one new one in 2017 (Chile, #150)

I just got my 50th with Ecuador this year.

Alas, I never got to do the gap-year multi-month overland trip in a place like Europe or Africa to run up the score. Instead it has been fly-in, stay a few days and fly out.

Ha ha!!! Better late than never I guess. I was looking at going back in 2010, I wonder if the tour is still running though?

I just hit 57 this week.

I had planned to hit 100 before my 35th birthday, but not sure I'll make it in 5 years.

I hope to be able to go to Brazil in June 2013.

I did not get to Brazil in June 2013. My father's declining health meant I could not get away from the domicile for the span of time I would have deemed necessary to explore a new country. {He had regular rotational doctor appointments every # months for which I would have had to deliver & retrieve him to | from the medical center.}
Somehow though, one of my flights back from Japan in a subsequent year sent me through Beijing, for # hours (connecting from ANA to UAL), so China is now on this list. And, I've now been to Japan twelve times, with trip #13 soft-planned for April.
