11. For one who travels a lot, my number is actually rather small
Fri Nov 30, 2018, 01:39 PM
Nov 2018

But my work is usually to the same places. Maybe it's not too late to expand my horizons.

From the list (and not counting airport transfers):
Hawaiian Islands
Alaska
Canada
Mexico
USA (something like 44 out of 50)
Ecuador
Antigua
Guadeloupe
St. Vincent and the Grenadines
U.S. Virgin Islands
Iceland
Madeira
Andorra
Austria
Belgium
Crete
Croatia
Czech Republic
Denmark
England
Finland
France
Germany
Hungary
Italy
Luxembourg
Montenegro
Netherlands
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Russia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland (like 2 hours ago!)
Seychelles
Hong Kong
Japan
Singapore
Thailand


I think that's only like 41 or so.

Of course, some political entities, like West Berlin, East Germany (DDR) and Yugoslavia don't even exist any more!
