Century Club

[deserat]

I've counted 33 so far that I've visited or lived in - and I think I'm pretty well traveled - 100 is a *lot* although what a great goal!

After checking their 'country list', my number has now climbed to 34. (And I didn't even have to leave home. )

About 30 countries...I think I have been in more countries than US states.

Unfortunately, I've never been to me.

My goodness. Their country list is frightfully complete! It turns out that I have been to 44 of their listed countries, mostly back in the 1950's.

I truly dislike traveling, other than by car within the U.S. and with no itinerary. If I ever qualify for the Century Club, you might as well just shoot me and put me out of my misery.

I'm also in the "more countries than states" club, although I'm planning on changing that when (if? ) that special significant other comes along...or going myself when I turn 40.

25 countries and territories (including Bahamas and Grand Cayman as 2 "territories")

9 states (only counting where I truly 'visited' and stayed for more than one day - excluding drive-thru states)

23 here. How odd so many of us have 23 countries as a number.

A regular energizer bunny He wants to join a Los Angeles club, the Century Club, which is for people who have visited 100 countries, he is still a few short, maybe its good to leave some things to keep you busy later in life. How about our FIRE friends, how many countries have you been to? I'll start; 18 counting the US. Any Century Club members?

Wow that's actually very inspiring.

Hmm... 28 'countries', 32 states, knew this one would be close. Can't imagine what it takes to get to 100 - seems like the second 50 would be a whole lot harder than the first 50.

According to their list, I'm at 21 countries..but there is a lot of cheating on their list in my mind..counting Alaska, Hawaii, Samoa, Marianas, Puerto Rico, etc as separate countries when they are all part of the US.
