Countries visited

The list of countries I have visited in chronological order

Originally, visiting all countries in the world was not a goal. I just traveled for the fun of it.

In 2009 a fellow Australian traveler asked me: “So, how many countries have you visited?”

I had no idea, since I had never made a list of them.

I counted them, and I had 77 countries visited so far.

Several years later I decided to quest for the all countries trophy, maintaining my commitment of thoroughly exploring each destination rather than just securing a stamp in my passport.

So here I am, 149 countries closer, 44 countries away from the goal.

While hoping the universe aligns to allow me reach the objective, I try to remind myself to just enjoy every moment of the journey and keep travelling for the fun of it.

Total number of countries visited: 149

Total duration of visit: 6,763 days (without Slovenia)
