Republic of Kiribati, Fanning Islands, South Pacific
There are 7 Continents and 196 countries in the world (193 UN Countries + Vatican City/Holy See + Kosovo + Taiwan) and while visiting all of them has never been a goal of mine I want to see as many new and exciting places as I can. Below is my progress so far.
Note: All states I’ve actually visited. I do not consider flying into and out of a state as a visit.
