Countries visited map & country counter

How many countries have you been to?

Start by searching for a city or place you remember visiting. Add the location to your map and the country counter updates automatically. Several points in the same country still count as one country, so you can keep a detailed travel record without inflating your total. The world percentage divides your unique counted countries by 195. It is a share of the country list, not a measurement of the land area you have explored. Visiting one city does not mean you have seen an entire country, and a small total can still represent many meaningful journeys.

Understand the 195-country reference

There is no single universal definition of a travel country list. This counter uses the 193 United Nations member states plus the Holy See and Palestine, for a total of 195. Dependent territories and other places can still appear in your travel records, but they do not increase this particular denominator. The continent breakdown uses six inhabited continents, with transcontinental countries assigned to one group for consistent counting. Russia is grouped with Europe and Turkey with Asia. These are practical statistical conventions, not statements about sovereignty or a rule for how you should describe your travels.

Turn a country count into a useful travel record

A number is a starting point. Add dates, city names, or memories to make the map useful when you plan a return visit or compare trips over time. Open the share card to include your country count, world percentage, and continent summary with the map. Export an image when you want to post a snapshot, and export JSON when you need a restorable backup. Records stay in your current browser rather than syncing to an online account. Keep a backup before clearing browser data. If you are exploring a single region in more detail, the US states map, European countries map, and scratch map offer other ways to organize the same curiosity.
