Hi! I would like to hear your feedback.

Just arriving in Brunei as my 95th country, I took some time to update the list of all countries visited and wanted to know how you count the overall countries in the world.

There are many ways to count and I explained my way here. In short: I counted the 193 UN nations, Holy see (aka Vatikan), Palestine and Kosovo. Maybe I will add Taiwan as well after visiting it later this year.

How many countries do we have in the world according to you?!



Cheers,
Chris

Congrats on #95 , Chris.

Both Taiwan and China mainland agree there is only one China, they just disagree on who governs/controls it. So it doesn't make sense to me to count them separately as two countries.

Libya
France
Spain

Not that many but I have been to 42 states

Not common to see Libya on such a relatively short list! When were you there?

28 countries that I've stayed overnight in, mostly in Europe. Next week I'll add Malaysia. All except Canada came after I was 40 -- I didn't have the money or desire when I was younger.
