Updated 3/2009


If you wonder how many countries and special territories (meaning they are not a COUNTRY, but might be in the future, or...) I have traveled to, I can tell you here. A travelers club called "Travelers' Century Club" maintains a list of country tally. Some of the 'countries' are neither countries or special territories, such as Alaska and Hawaii are actually counted separately because they are not in "continental USA"...
