My Traveling Statistics
7 min readNov 4, 2023
My international travels began on May 1st, 1990, the day after my 18th birthday, when I caught a flight from San Francisco, California to London, England to begin a summer of backpacking around Europe. I keep track of a few of the basic facts of my travels in my journal, such as how many US states and how many countries I’ve been to, etc. So I thought I would publish that info here for anyone who might be curious.
