Create Your Own Visited Countries Map

This page aims to give an extensive overview of EVERYWHERE I have been on my travels, the second most asked question I get asked is “Where have you been?” (after “How can you afford to travel so much?”) As of March 2017, I’ve been to:

I will try to keep this list as up to date as I can and it will include links to each page listing those places or at least articles that those places have featured in. Having searched the web for other travel blogs, there isn’t a single other one man travel blog that has visited all seven continents and written over 3,000 travel stories in the last 9 years.

What is a country/significant region?
OK I have my own opinion on what is a country (or significant region) and what is not. For example I am a proud Northern Irishman and therefore Northern Ireland is a country to me. As is Hong Kong – it is separate from China in my eyes. I don’t class the United Kingdom as a country at all – to me it’s a kingdom of four countries and several island states. So for this list I have used my own definition of a country, as well as the Traveller’s Century Club list of “Countries and Territories”. Yes, I know it is very sceptical as it includes Tasmania, Alaska etc. as “territories geographically separated from their homeland”, but that is the logic they have used to include Northern Ireland, so we’ll go with it. There is a possible 325 on their list. I have also thought about including only FIFA countries on this list, but that doesn’t include Antarctica. But as for my 100 country journey, I used the FIFA list.

It is not up to at present but I will attempt to keep it as up to date as I can, it will eventually be in five categories:

* (anything below that is in brackets means that I was only in transit there)

Continents I’ve been to (8/8):

Africa Antarctica Asia Europe Middle East North America Oceania South America

7 Continents of travel: Partying with the Gaborone Girls in Botswana, Africa.

Countries/Significant Regions I’ve been to (113/321):

I’ve based this list partly on the Travellers Century/100 Club list though I don’t quite agree with all of their definitions on there, and I’m sure you also won’t but here’s their list: List of the world’s countries. There are 325 countries or territories on that list. The list below will contain some overlap of places such as Borneo and United Kingdom, included only so you can go to those places in one link and make my site a bit more navigable.

Significant regions, countries, disputed territories, unusual cults and special zones I have been to (each country links to my articles on it):

Cities, Towns, Villages, Settlements or Significant Places I’ve Been To
On this list I have included everywhere I have been narrowed down to cities, towns, villages or what I deem to be a significant place. These are listed under the same categories as the countries above, those places in brackets mean I was only there in transit (the bus stopped, the train stopped, I changed flights etc.).

* Those places in brackets are because I have been in that place but not left the vehicle (transit on a bus, train, plane etc.)

Thanks for checking out Jonny Blair’s World Travel Page! Safe travels! This is correct as of March 2017.

Keep on chasing down that rainbow…
