All the travelers we know keep a list...
It's not just for bragging rights! Ours helps us keep track of where we've been and when.
I used to think that I would remember every trip and when we took it, but after all these years of travel, some of the details begin to blur.
OUR list helps us remember when we took that trip to Antarctica.... was that the same year that we went with friends to France?
We remember each trip vividly, but not necessarily when we went or with whom. We just have to look at our country list, and the memories come flooding back.
I offer our country list to inspire you to travel, to make your own country list. I'll link to some of our stories as I add them as one more way to help you find a place to go. For even more tips, check our pages listed on World Travel Trips and Europe Travel Tips. I hope this helps you find tips to help you plan your own trip... or to be an armchair traveler with us and travel vicariously through our stories.

So How Do You Know Which Countries to List?
I won't bore you with every trip we've ever taken, let's just list the counties and areas we've been to alphabetically. OK?Just so you know... this isn't for any "official" number of counties list.... some of the places listed will be regions rather than independent counties. Some of the names have changed through the years.... countries have split up and become separate, colonies have become independent or assimilated. Some "countries" may be regions that are part of a larger whole.
The Travelers' Century Club has an official list of countries... which changes as geopolitics does. It's a good place to start. They say, "Although some are not actually counties in their own right, they have been included because they are removed from parent, either geographically, politically or ethnologically." They count plane fuels stops and ports-of-call, we do not.
Then there's the UN List of Countries. That's a pretty official country list.
It's harder than you might think to keep an accurate country list. We've sort of used both of these lists and come up with our own informal list... for us to remember and share with you.
So this is Mousetours' country list.... for nothing more official than to help with our memories and to help you create your own. We'll add stories as we can. If you have any questions about any of these, you can always Ask Judy!
Ready? Here's our list of where we've been....
| Africa Botswana Egypt Kenya Madagascar Mali Morocco Namibia Rwanda South Africa Tanzania Zambia Zimbabwe Antarctica Asia Southeast Asia Caribbean Central America |
| Europe Andorra Austria Belgium Bosnia Croatia Czech Republic Denmark England Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Italy Liechtenstein Luxembourg The Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Russia San Marino Scotland Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey (Istanbul) Ukraine Wales Middle East North America South Pacific South America |
Trip Advisor has a map where you can put pins in cities you've visited once you've joined... like this....
And on my world 66 you can plot counties visited with broad strokes... They use a different list too... they say we've been to 90 counties!
Or you keep your own country list as we have.
Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it! Judy and Mark
