Are you listening to the Counting Countries podcast?
I speak with the most interesting people in the world-who are travelling to every country in the world or have already finished the quest:
With a membership of only approximately 350 people, it’s one of the most exclusive clubs on Earth. In fact, more people have been to outer space than have earned their way into this, the ultimate travel club.
According to the United Nations there are 193 sovereign nations in the world. Welcome to the only podcast to bring you the stories from the dedicated few who’ve spent their lives on the singular quest of traveling to them all.

Want To Share Your Achievements?
My hope is to involve more people in the community, celebrate achievements, and update the listener on 193 news.
- Your Memo has to be celebrating a milestone that has taken place in the last 30 days
- I am defining a milestone as crossing your 100th (minimum), 110, 120, 130, 140, etc., 193rd country. (not 14, 33, 87, 134, 178, etc, not MTP, NM, TCC)
In your voice Memo please include the following:
- Your full name
- Where you are from/where you live
- An interesting or fun fact about you
- What milestone you are celebrating and when
- What country was your milestone
- Now here is your time to be creative. Please share a fun or interesting fact about your milestone, or what is coming next, etc
- Needs to be under 45 seconds, if it is not, it will not be presented, it will not be edited
