Visit 100 Countries
Ticked off
What it is
Reaching 100 countries is a milestone many travellers aim for, and it usually takes years of steady travel.
How to do it
Plan trips that cover clusters of neighbouring countries, such as the Balkans, West Africa or Central America, and use long weekends for nearby countries.
Top tip
Decide early which list you count against (I use the 193 UN states plus Vatican City, Taiwan and Kosovo) and stick to it.
My experience
Following on from visiting 50 countries the next logical option is the milestone of 100 countries. This is definitely a personal goal, as it doesn’t need to be in here, but, in order to live a bucket list life, its good to be able to tick things off and keep the momentum going.
