A list of countries I’ve visited during my travels.
- Countries with asterisks indicate a place I’ve been but have not slept at least a night in.
- Airport layovers do not count as having visited a country.
- Although there are currently 193 UN member states, I also consider Kosovo, Taiwan, and Antarctica (listed on the Officially Recognized States list) to count towards my goal of visiting every nation on earth, thus making a grand total of 196 “countries”.
