Today, 28 February 2023, I touched down in Male, Maldives. The picture above was taken through the window of the plane as we came in for landing.
This visit brings my country tally to 166 countries and territories. Due to rounding, the percentage tally - meaning what percentage of the world I have been to - remains at 62%.
My most recent 'acquisition' prior to Maldives was Sri Lanka. The next two targets are Bhutan and Nepal.
All in due time.
I am using the 'been' app to keep track of my countries. The 'been' app (screen shot below) is useful for capturing a snapshot of the countries you have been to, given how the world looks at this very moment. In other words, if you have been to countries that no longer exist, such as East Germany during the Cold War, Yugoslavia before the breakup, or perhaps Sudan before it divided into Sudan and South Sudan then the 'been' app will not give you credit for those visits. Still, 'been' is a useful device for anyone wishing to keep track of how much of Planet Earth they have seen, given how the world looks right now.
