Where Have I Been?



This map is pretty cool – it tells you how many countries you've visited, what share of the world's population that is, the share of the earth's land surface, and a number of stars out of five based on that. To be entirely fair, I marked places I only truly visited (didn't just travel through) and can remember well. Looks like I've been to 20/197 countries, which is 5.44% of the world's population, and 1.70% of the earth's land surface. This all adds up to 3/5 stars – time to start traveling!
