I know, I know, it’s so faux pas to count your countries, but… I just like to know where all I’ve been. I’ve traveled to 64 countries and all fifty states, not including constituent or former nations. And I have some very specific parameters about what counts and doesn’t count. How do you count your countries? Do you count them at all?

Jordan’s “Destinations Methodology”

64 countries. All fifty states. That’s my “country count.”

Some people are adamantly against country counting under the premise that the number of countries you’ve traveled to doesn’t necessarily indicate a fully immersed cultural experience. And I don’t disagree. But I just think it’s fun to keep track.

So, how do I count my countries? I personally follow the United Nations list, which states 193 countries, plus 2 recognized territories (Vatican City and Palestine).

I also keep a separate list of former and constituent countries outside of my final count for good measure. And, for the record, I don’t count airports. What’s your methodology?

Jordan with Slinkies on a weird orange background

Jordan’s 2024 Destinations

I’ve got 2024 all planned out, and am even starting on 2025 already. Let’s be honest, though, I’m sure a few more spots will creep into my annual travel plans along the way, because… I simply can’t help myself. Stay tuned for content on—ready for it?—Georgia, Armenia, Norway, Vegas, Paris, Amsterdam, Utah, Portland, Basque country, Australia, Serbia, Thailand, and Bhutan. (I know!!! It’s awesome, right?)

In 2025, I’ll be hitting up my seventh continent, Antarctica, early in the year, and have declared that year the year of bucket list travel. All those trips I’ve been dreaming about for years but just haven’t done for one reason or another, those are all happening. Expect to see me in Tunisia, Namibia, Madagascar, and/or hiking the St. Francis Camino route. It’s going to be the travel year of a lifetime, and the perfect way to spend 45.

In a recent podcast interview, I was asked what my next travel goal was, and—weirdly, being a super goal-oriented individual—I didn’t have one. After completing the 40×40, the only thing that came to mind was all seven continents, which will be done fairly soon. So, I think I’m going for 100 countries in my lifetime. After 2024, that’s 29 more countries. And I’m currently 44. Think I can do it?!?

Cheers, Jordan
