I’ve been to all of these places, that’s 76 out of 193 countries (195 if you count the Vatican and Palestine, which are observer states), or roughly 40% of the world. There’s still plenty left for me to explore, thankfully! For reference, I only count countries that are officially recognised by the United Nations as sovereign states. Oh, and places that I have actually visited. None of that layover/short stop nonsense!
