How many countries and territories have you visited?

[IrishEyes]

The Travelers’ Century Club is a club that anyone who has visited 100 or more of the places listed on their official list is eligible to join. The official list is of 327 places. Some are not actually countries in their own right, they have been included because they are removed from the parent country. For instance, Alaska and Hawaii are separate from the USA so they each count. Even spending a short time like a stopover in the airport or driving through counts.

3. Airports don't count

We are a well-travelled family (30 year expat, 60+ countries) and we have one firm rule: landing at an airport does not count unless you pass through immigration. No stamp, no country.

I got to add Cote d'Ivoire unintentionally through this rule when a flight to Accra was diverted and they made us go through immigration upon landing in Abidjan.

10. I spent a significant amount of time in all the countries on my list except Iceland and Denmark.

I got to Copenhagen late at night from Rome. I checked into the hotel and fell asleep. The next morning I had breakfast and caught a morning flight to Sweden. I can't say that I saw any of Denmark but I was in the country over night. Someday I would like to go back.

I pretty much had the same experience in Iceland. Iceland was the first foreign country that I ever set foot in but I was not there very long. I would like to go back there as well.

[IrishEyes]

9. Yeah, Puerto Rico and Gibraltar count according to the list.

It looks like you have been to some interesting places. I had a friend who only left the USA once. It was to go to Bulgaria. She isn't Bulgarian. She just wanted to go there. That was a few years ago so hopefully she has traveled some more.

[sinkingfeeling]

7. I was in 12 countries in 2018. Think I've been in 44 or 45.

[mainer]

8. I'm up to 67

It helps that I travel for business. And that I worked briefly in the south pacific.

But my work is usually to the same places. Maybe it's not too late to expand my horizons.

13. My list is too embarassingly short to even post.

I'll just say I haven't had a chance to leave North America just yet.

That should hopefully change next year, geopolitical situation willing.

[IrishEyes]

16. The's okay. I know someone who didn't leave the country until they were in their 70s.

Not even Canada and they live in Michigan. I hope you get the chance to go soon.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

14. 102 plus 49 U.S. states.

[IrishEyes]

I'm not much of a traveler, actually. I would like to go back to England sometime and maybe see Paris, Rome, and Florence.

[IrishEyes]

22. I went to Rome and Paris. First time when I was 22 and then 10 years later

It was interesting to see the cities at two different stages in my life. I should go back when I'm a little older.

[Glorfindel]

23. My problem is that I loathe traveling. If I could blink and just BE in Florence or Rome,

that would be great. It's the trip I can't stand.
