Here is the list of countries I have been to so far. This list is in the chronological order according to when I went there. By the way, I have purged this list and am only including countries whose grounds I have actually, physically stepped on, which does NOT include airport stays when taking connecting flights, etc. I like being able to absorb what sights, sounds and tastes a culture has to offer and I am not considering passing through Narita Airport, for example, as a visit to Japan.

The countries in bold below are ones that I have lived in. I define “living” in a country as having stayed there for about a month or more in which you don’t have any definitive plans to leave (airline tickets purchased, etc.) during the time you entered it.

Also, for certain larger countries, I have broken it down to the areas I’ve visited. I did this with the Philippines too, since it is my intention of seeing every corner of my Motherland.
