A visited countries map shows the countries you have been to in colour on a world map, with a count beside it. On this page you click countries on the map or tick them in the list, and the page works out how many you have visited and what share of the world's countries that is.
Three statuses keep the map honest. Visited is for places you have travelled to, Lived here is for countries you called home, and Want to go is a wish list that is drawn in a different colour and never counted as visited.
The map uses the Equal Earth projection, which keeps the true area of every country. Russia and Greenland are not inflated the way they are on Mercator maps, so the coloured share of the map matches the real share of land.
How to count the countries you have visited
Step 1
Pick a status
Visited is selected to start. Switch to Lived here or Want to go when you need them.
Step 2
Click or search
Click countries on the map. For small countries, type the name in Find a country and tick it in the list.
Step 3
Choose the counting rule
In Statistics, set what counts as a country: 193 UN members, 195 with observers, or all countries and territories.
Details that matter when you count
Small countries get a dot
Singapore, Malta, the Vatican and island states are too small to click at world scale, so each has a dot you can click, and all are in the list.
Territories are optional
Hong Kong, Greenland, Puerto Rico and other territories appear when you choose the all-inclusive rule, and stay out of the count otherwise.
Land share as well as count
Statistics also shows the share of the world's land your countries cover, which is a different number from the share of countries.
Questions and answers
- What counts as visiting a country?
- There is no official rule. Many travellers count a country when they have left the airport and done something there; others require an overnight stay. Pick a rule you are happy to explain and apply it to every country. Airport transfers are usually not counted.
- How many countries has the average person visited?
- There is no reliable worldwide figure, and survey results differ a lot by country and by how the question is asked. A fair comparison is with your own map a year ago, which is why the statistics tab shows new countries per year.
- Why is my percentage different from another app?
- Apps divide by different totals. Some use 193 UN members, some 195, some more than 240 countries and territories. Set the same rule in Statistics and the numbers will match.
- Do Scotland, England and Wales count separately?
- On this map they are one country, the United Kingdom, because the list follows ISO country codes. The same applies to states and provinces of other countries.
- How are disputed areas shown?
- Borders come from the public-domain Natural Earth dataset. Kosovo is listed on its own under the all-inclusive rule; Northern Cyprus colours with Cyprus and Somaliland with Somalia. The map does not take a political position.
