The top item on my bucket list is to travel to every country in the world. With a few countries and territories under dispute, the number is not exact. But as I personally recognize Taiwan as a country, I’m pegging the list at 196. Hopefully it doesn’t change too much in the time it takes me to visit them all. There are also many more sovereign territories and regions, such as the four parts of the United Kingdom. Crossed-out countries are those that I have visited so far.
