    I'm working on visiting all 50 US states (and DC) - at the moment I am missing just Alaska, Vermont, Delaware and Connecticut.
    Nah it’s like doing the 92. New stadium you have to do it again.

    Yeah but I don't subscribe to the 92 rules. It's like saying just because Woolworth no longer exists I never went there.

    The list in the initial post is of sovereign states, not countries. Whether there are 194 or 195 in the world, I believe is disputed as some don't count Palestine.

    I'm a bit confused by the list, I couldn't copy the original text and strike throughs. 

    I've been to 40. I try and do a new one each year, to keep my country count above my age. I've been to all continents but need to revisit Africa to have seen football and played golf on each one.

    I think my only country not mentioned yet is Bolivia.

    Thought I was pretty well travelled, but some of you put me to shame. 
    Amazing also to realise just how far I am from visiting every country - I haven’t even visited a fifth of the countries in the world.

    @PeterGage has been loads 
    94 different overseas countries/ Islands
    Tick off the missing ones !
    The criteria I used (94 different countries/Islands) is different from the criteria that of Thai Malaysia Addick. For example,  I have been to 6 different Islands in the Maldives and 6 different Islands in The Bahamas and counted them as such. But equally, I haven't been silly and counted Alcatraz as a separate Island, although technically it can be seen as such.

    So to use Thai Malaysia Addick's list, simply for comparision purposes, I have been to 58 of those countries listed.
    Did anyone else read this and think "typical referee"?

    Why make up your own criteria? It's a fairly straightforward exercise. Why would you count Islands within the same country when the exercise is to see who has been to different countries? Alcatraz ffs?!

    Proper odd.

    I'm working on visiting all 50 US states (and DC) - at the moment I am missing just Alaska, Vermont, Delaware and Connecticut.
    Done the same re Yugoslavia, Italy down to Athens and back up via Belgrade to Austria....I'd say you can 'convert'.....I do anyway.

    Been to Chile, seen Paraguay from across the river at Iguazu but never crossed the river. Mate of mine is a 'bit' of an anorak when it comes to ticking things of (his not Charlton btw) and said that was a sin not going to Paraguay when I was so close.

    45 for me by the end of my current trip. More than I would have ever thought I would do when I was younger.
