Can I Visit Every Country in the World?

This page presents an overview of the countries I have traveled to, ranging from brief visits to North Korea to several months in Colombia. Most countries were visited in the past decade, as I only started traveling around the world in recent years.

Initially, I explored Europe and ticked off over twenty countries with ease. Gradually, I expanded my horizons and ventured into Asia and the Middle East. More recently, I have explored America and Africa, although reaching these destinations has proved more challenging.

Despite visiting many countries, I am eager to discover more and keep this page updated with new destinations. Please leave a comment suggesting the next country I should see.

A goal, not an obsession

While visiting every country on Earth is a dream of mine, it is not an obsession. It is not my primary goal, as I do not wish to make it my sole focus while traveling. However, exploring less popular destinations is a great motivation.

    To my – very poor – geographic knowledge, Cyprus is in Europe (was there in January). Tip from your godfather : your next trip should be to Liechtenstein. I wonder if Mexico doesn’t belong to North-America. See you !

      Cyprus oei.. Daar is iets fout gelopen. Indeling Amerika moet ik eens herbekijken, is soms wat ingewikkeld. Mexico is inderdaad Noord-Amerika. Nog niet in Liechtenstein geweest! Bedankt voor de tips!

    You’ve darkened Groenland without mentioning it. If you believe it’s Denmark, then – maybe – you should not mention Gibraltar. Is’t it the same ? Latin-America is in fact South-America, you visited only Colombia. Other countries are in Central-America. Have fun !

      De inkleuring ging automatisch via een website voor het kaartje. Intussen ook Guyana, Suriname en Brazilië in Zuid-Amerika!
