35 and counting…

A few weeks ago a friend and I were chatting about travel and wondering who we know that has been to the most countries. She tossed a name into the debate and we discovered that he had been to less countries than me, but my friend insisted that his passport was more interesting since a lot of my travel has been confined to Europe. I have written lists at various points but never am able to remember my country/territory/city-state count 🙂 so I figured I would write a post. So here goes nothing, in order of visitation starting from my birth and first international travel in 1991 (not counting Canada of course)!
