Where I’ve Been

Travel is not about how many countries you’ve been to or how many stamps you have in your passport. But I will admit that I find a little bit of list ticking to be entertaining.

* These countries aren’t technically countries, but I count them anyway. For one reason or another they have enough separation from the country they’re actually a part of, so I count them as a separate country. As for Antarctica, it doesn’t belong to anyone and has no permanent residents, so again, it seems separate enough. Also, that means most of these are included on the map with the country they officially belong to, and Antarctica sadly doesn’t show up on the map at all.
