You didn't traveling around of the world yet? So you hasn't gone onto the trip to SYD or whatever where you went there. How many times where you went to Italy or UK?

My passport is 1 year old, and I am still in school, my old passport was full in 2.5 years.
I have 12 USA entry stamps (would be more, but I with NEXUS, so going from Can-US you dont get a stamp)
DTW, SEA, SFO, GUM, ATL, ORD, HNL
10 EU entry/exit stamps
1 Qatar Entry Visa (stamp) and Exit
1 Full Page Egypt, + 2 Entry/Exit
Full Page Jordan Aqaba SAR Stamp + 2 Entry/Exit + 1 Exit Tax Postage Stamp
Full Page Syria + 2 Entry/Exit
Half Page Syria VOA (8 Postage Stamps) + 2 Entry/Exit
2 Lebanon Entry/Exit stamps (my grandparents were travelling on their Lebanese passports, and a little bribe I was suddenly 'Lebanese' and didn't need a visa so I just got entry stamps)
2 UAE Entry/Exit Stamps
11 HK Entry/Exit Stamps, plus One Cancelled Stamp over a Exit stamp when I was denied entry at Lo Wu.
4 Taiwan Entry/Exit Stamps
10 Korea Entry Exit Stamps
Full Page Korean Student Visa
1 Tiny Korean Alien Registration Card Date Stamp
Full Page Korean Re-Entry Permit
2 UK Stamps
2 Japan Entry Stickers + Exit Stamps
1 Full Page China Visa
2 Ecuador Entry/Exit Stamps
Full Page India Visa + 2 Entry/Exit Stamps
Strangely 1 Canadian Entry Stamp, this being a Canadian passport, at Quebec City airport they stamped my passport when my girlfriend and I flew DTW-EWR-YQB and they questioned us for 25 minutes about our reasoning flying from leaving Canada to fly from DTW (My parents were in Windsor and it was 1/10th the price flying from YQG). They ended up restricting my girlfriends entry into Canada, instead of a 6 month entry, she was allowed to stay for 14 days.

My passport is just on 2 years old and has 198 stamps and 14 full page Visas. With only 8 pages left in a 64 page passport, I'll be up for a new passport by the end of the year.

None...my brand new pristine Aussie passport arrived yesterday all ready for my big trip in August. Funny though....my husband's and my passport both expired at the same time so we'll probably look like flying virgins as we pass through the checkpoints :-)))

Same here - my brand-new US passport book (renewal) is 51 pages of pristine purity . The old one probably had 40 or so (I do a lot of intra-Schengen hopping, and typically don't visit countries that require visas).

I hate to sound sceptical, but you don't need a visa to enter Lebanon on a Canadian passport. You get 30 days free of charge.

US Passport issued in 2003, have lived in Germany for the past 5.5 years.
51 stamps, maybe a handful more,can't tell if they are double stamped. Mostly from Germany, the US and the UK.
A couple from Swaziland, 1 from South Africa, Morocco and Ireland.
Just added an exit from CDG
As an aside, my daughter started college back in the States last fall and was appalled to find out that most of her classmates don't even have a passport.

I'll join the game:
Current passport, valid for 11 months now, has 37 stamps and 4 full page visas.
Previous one, which I carry when travel due to some still current visas, was valid for exactly 4 years and has 80 stamps and 9 full page visa stickers.
Those numbers would be much higher, but I've been registered with IRIS for last 2 years - so I don't get stamped on a way back to UK anymore.

My passport is now almost two years old and has 10 stamps, and because some people don't understand where Puerto Rico is (I am looking at YOU, US Customer Service), I'm bringing my passport as ID.

current Passport is 7 years old. 48 pages originally and now has extra pages sewn in.
134 stamps
2 Russian visas
2 Bulgarian visas
3 Slovak residency permits (look like visas)
I stopped getting my passport stamped every time I re-enter the US because I am trying to conserve pages.
