Country Notes

I count my own country (Australia) of course.

I have counted the UK as one country, though I know some people like to count the constituent countries of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland as separate (for the record I have been to all four).

Airport layovers where I don’t leave the airport don’t count. I cover this here: When can you say you’ve been to a country?

I count countries even if I only spend part of a day there (such as Bosnia and Herzegovina which I counted as a new country day.)

I’m not on a quest to visit every country in the world. While I enjoy following along travellers that are doing it, for me I would rather revisit my favourite countries and get know them better than to go somewhere to say I have been.
