How much of the world have you visited?

This site lets you tick the boxes next to all the countries you’ve been to and then it’ll give you a nifty little map with them all highlighted in red, along with what percentage of the world you’ve seen.

Me, I’ve been to 14 countries, which amounts to 6% of the world. I’ve got a lot of travelling to do if I’m even going to make double figures.
And sure, I only went to Canada for dinner, and I was asleep on a bus when I went through Germany but they still count, damnit :slight_smile:

11%

Oops, I forgot Ecuador and Peru. Add a few more percent.

25 countries, 11% of the world.

For the bigger countries, it’s a bit deceiving. Yes, I’ve been to Canada, but only Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. That still leaves an awful lot.

For the US, 21 states, 41%

24 countries, or 10%. I’m awfully low on the Southern hemisphere.

27 countries; 12%

13%, 31 countries. Pretty good for an adolescent, methinks.

Yeah, it’s a little silly that someone who’s spent months travelling around Canada gets the same amount of percentage points as someone like me, who nipped over the border for a few hours while on holiday in the U.S. Even sillier that the Vatican City counts as the same percentage of the world as Russia or China.
Still, a fun little toy though.

25 countries and 11% for the world. 48 states and 96% for the states. I hope I got all the countries, as a couple I might have forgotten.

Looks like I’m winning so far with 35 (15%).

15 countries, 6%.

But like some of the people visiting that site, I find it weird that visiting Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, DC, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and New York counts as much as having gone shopping in Andorra once. Specially since I’m not from the US.

And, if they’re going to count Gibraltar and Greenland as separate from the UK and Denmark, why not separate the Canary islands as well? The Canaries aren’t EU. Let’s separate Ceuta and Melilla, too… not EU either…

I’m just not very clear on what criteria did those people use in order to decide what should be listed as a separate territory and what not. Why list the Channel Islands, but not Scotland?

If someone can explain, I’d really like to understand, things I don’t understand bugs the hell out of me.

8% of the countries, 96% of the states. Light on the Southern Hemisphere, and I’ve never set foot in Mississippi or Hawai’i.

Very few. I’ve been to Europe a couple of times, and as far south as Aruba, but I’ve mainly stayed in the US. I’d dearly love to see more, but it costs time and money I ain’t got. I’d especially like to see Japan.
What burns me up is that several institutions would prefer if I didn’t go elsewhere. The Red Cross wants my blood, but not if I’ve been outside the US too long, or visited various countries. Whenm I worked at a firm that did work for the US government, they wanted me to stay out of certain places and tell them if I went abroad.

14 countries: 6% of the world

24 states: 47% of the USA

As illustrated here, I think I lose.

20 countries, 44 states.

Pretty tiny: 9 countries (4%).

It doesn’t help that we tend to visit geographically small countries. Fiji, Peru, Zambia: none of these are very big. I’m thinking we need to hit Australia, Brazil and Greenland to boost our percentage a bit.

I am the lowliest.

5 countries (2%)

22 countries (9%) and 3 states (5%).

I’m only counting countries where I’ve actually entered the country. If I counted airports I could add three countries and 1 state.

Damn you, Tapioca! I’d win with 14%, if it weren’t for your blasted 15%! No more visting small countries for me. Russia, China, Brazil, Sudan, here I come!

19 countries (8%)

25 states (50%)
